...Here at Gulf Coast Academy Charter Schools the language arts program is my favorite. Each year the classes are interesting and engaging with a series a series of amazing books. Always remember to follow along with the book or risk failing the test that you will have each Friday. The test will review the previous chapter you have read so far. In language arts if you happen to fail a test you can stay after on language designated clinic days to repair the grade to at least a seventy percent. One of the Language Arts teacher at Gulf Coast Charter Schools says, “The best book the incoming sixth grade class will be reading is The Watson’s go to Birmingham, because it teaches you a lot about the civil rights movement.” You will have many writing assignments. One of the...

...This is when I went to my first day in middle school. I was so scared that didn’t even want to go to school. When we got school we went to the cafeteria. The principal assign all our classes. First, I went to my 1st hour class. My 1st class was science. My science teacher’s name is Mrs. Hamblin. ’’Welcome to Beer Middle School,’’ our teacher said with excitement , ’’in this class we are going to do fun experiment.’’ Mrs. Hamblin started to assign seats. I had no problem with I will I be sitting. Next, until 1st hour was finished we went to our 2nd hour. I was confused where I was going. I really did not see all my classes. So, I asked some of the other teachers for help. ’’Excuse me, at any chance do you know where room 208 is?’’ I asked politely. ’’Go down, turn, keep on walking forward, and turn at the end to the left.’’ The teacher replied. It was so weird of all the twist and turns. Then, I finally found the room. I went in my next class, which is S.S. (Social Studies)....

...A teacher’s job isn’t just to teach. They also need to be understanding and patient, but most teachers don’t fulfill either role. Frau Carson does without a doubt, though, and that’s why I consider her one of my favorite teachers. I’ve had Frau Carson for German since my freshman year and she can only be described as amazing. Frau Carson can make anything feel and she’s just great to be around. At first glance, the best part about Frau Carson is that she always manages to make her classes electric. Every lesson takes a different approach to learning and even reviews can feel refreshing. In fact, I’ve done everything from making a video for elementary school kids to acting out skits with my friends. These projects might sound generic, but Frau Carson always manages to create a twist that gets everyone in the class to enjoy German. My favorite example is my AP German class’s trip to the zoo. It happened last year and the day obviously should have been dull. I mean, I’m in high school and I’ve done worksheets at the zoo before; Frau Carson wanted the class to take pictures and make a story out of them though. My story was about my one of my friend’s...

...but can't hold a candle to the the smell of a brand new book (which, by the way, is my favorite scent in the world). To be completely honest, I don't know what makes me love the scent of crisply ironed cotton or satin. But if I could guess, I would infer that it comes from the association to fabric stores and memories of walking into one. When I was younger, and still now, it was a mix of the vibrant colors, the possibilities behind each, and aroma given off. I can't honestly say that my love of sewing is a love that "has been there for as long as I can remember." In fact, I can date the start of my...

...chosen a book for themselves, or have had a teacher chosen it? Students should be able to choose the books they read in class. First, they would be more engaged with the book, Second, they would understand the book better, Finally, students would score better on reading tests. Although teachers may choose books that the students would be engaged in, students would be 100% engaged knowing their book of choice is something they will enjoy. If students choose a book that they know they would be interested in, they would enjoy the book and not be weary or bored with the book as if the teacher chose the book. Wouldn’t the reader want to choose a book that just came out and was part of the readers favorite series, or let a teacher choose a book that has never been heard of or know anything...

...As a child my favorite subject often changed by who was teaching the class. I didn’t realize that I was actually smart until eight grade. At that time, my favorite subject was Spanish. I also enjoyed my Social Studies class- especially the subjects on the Civil War and women’s rights. In High School, I dabbled in a little physical science. The teacher taught in multiple ways. She knew that everybody learned in a different way, so she tried to accommodate everybody. That’s when my English skill came about. I had a few poems published in different books. I also advanced in math and basically all of my classes. In my junior year, I started taking agricultural classes which extend into my senior year. As a senior, I took advanced courses in English and Math. I hadn’t taken one Sociology class at this point. My favorite non-circular activity was golf. I didn’t play often and I wasn’t good at it, but I loved it. I engulfed myself in Agriculture. I wanted to be a veterinarian, I was the Vice President of my FFA chapter, and I was showing both pigs and a steer at my local fair. I was proud of my position as the FFA vice president, through them I had competed in many different competitions and had won! I found out that I was good at communication and speeches, I was good at memorizing breeds of animals and I was a good leader. When I graduated high school I started taking agricultural classes at the college level and I hated it. My “On Course” class required us to plan out what we wanted...

...School Bells… I started kindergarten at Spring Hill Elementary School. There my teacher’s name was Mr. Shortner. Around half way through the year I won student of the month at that school and not even three days later I switched schools to Chocachatti. My kindergarten teacher’s name there was Mrs. Noark. Everyone thought she was the best teacher ever. She didn’t like to give us homework so we used to call her Mrs. No Work. She was really nice and loved teaching the class. My mom was excited for me to go to kindergarten. She was excited because she wanted me to learn in a new environment and meet new friends and have fun new experiences. When I was in kindergarten I got in trouble for sleeping in class a few times. I would fall asleep while a teacher put on a movie or a video or when we had an easy day. Chocachatti is a performing arts school so we would do plays and musicals all the time. I remember my class was connected to another class in the hallway to get to the other class there was a little stage and seats for the audience. That was my favorite thing to do while I was in kindergarten. I would pretend that I was on stage performing a play and the audience of my friends...

...Assessment is done in our everyday life; at times we do not even realize that is what we are doing. We assess ourselves as well as others; for example when we are getting dressed and we look at ourselves or what others are wearing. In the classroom we assess children by looking at what they are doing and seeing what the teacher is doing well and what they can improve to help the child. We want to see what we can change to help the way the child is learning. As I am observing the classroom I see the teacher is constantly asking questions; The children are at the table and they are drawing pictures of their families and a child drew a picture of her family and it was two men and her and another child told her “your mom does not have hair” and...

...In this chapter, will be talking about my experiences in junior high. It was a big and exciting change for me to move to the middle school wing of the school. I was really excited about having six different teachers opposed to only one for the whole day. I was extremely excited for my first day of junior high. The night before, I had laid out my uniform and got all my school supplies ready. I woke up at 6:00 am, ready for my first day of school. I went to the kitchen, and made my breakfast. Then I realized that my parents werent home. At that time my mom was pregnant with my little brother, so it crossed my mind a few times that she could be having the baby. Because I didn't have a phone at that time, I had to email my parents asking them where they were. My dad drove...
