...think of a good story for language arts class. “Uhh, I hate this class,” I accidentally say out loud. “Shhh, work on your story!” the teacher says embarrassing me. Riiiinnnnng. “Thank goodness,” I sigh to Maggie as we walk out of the classroom. “Come on Missy, language arts is fun, you just have to try,” Maggie replied. “I do try, my hardest is your worst,” I say wanting to get out of this conversation. “Whatever, I’ll see you on Monday, ” Maggie walks away annoyed, “I bet you’ll come up with a great story,” she said less annoyed. Today I slowly walked home, I wanted to be anywhere but home. When I did arrive home my mom was sitting at the table waiting for me. I knew it,...

There lives a king named Stefan and his beautiful queen, Elsa, and a frog in the pond called Jordan. I mean, the frog was called Jordan. Not the pond, it would be silly. The pond was called Samantha. Anyway, King Stefan and Queen Elsa were in their fairy tale home up on a hill. Their days were peaceful and quiet, all sweetness and light, all gentle and tranquil. Their days were a long horribly dull holidays. SCENE 1 - THE PALACE King Stefan: I’m bored, bored and bored. (Dozes off, reawakens) [SE: SNORING SOUND] I'm bored! Queen Elsa: I know dear, you just said that. King Stefan: I know but I’ll be bored to death soon. Queen Elsa: For God’s sake, don't start that again.

...finish this on time. So, without further ado, I will start my article. Hi there! I’m Lorraine Altamerano Chuaquico. I was born on July 05, 1998, 1:10 pm at Morong, Rizal. To be honest, I don’t actually know where my name came from. My mom said that they just thought of “Lorraine” and it sounds cute daw. When I was only a year old I started to talk (baby talk) and also to crawl then eventually to walk on my own. At the age of 2, I started to talk, a straight one. Also, I can read by that time, I can also write but not as neat as how I can write right now. With these things, my mom and my dad decided to enroll me in a Kindergarten school here in Tanay, Rizal at the age of 3. I just remembered that my teacher gave me a task. I was in my preparatory level that time. This task is to memorize a speech and I should give it an action. It’s like a declamation in our school and I was the one who will represent our section. The speech was written in a 3 pieces of yellow paper. I didn’t have a hard time to practice that speech because my mother helped me to memorize and to put some actions in it. I was standing on our dining table and I was reciting it in front of my mom and my dad. My dad said, “Wow! Ang galing naman ng anak ko.” That time kasi, my father is working on MRT or Metro Rail Transit under Maintenance Repair. His day-off was only Saturday and Sunday, then on Monday morning he will go back to work. So, by the time that my father got home I recited it and he said those words....

...Welcome family, friends, and faculty to the South Whidbey Academy graduation of 2016. The office we use for the last 4 years is the same room I spent my 1st-grade year of school. A special teacher, Mrs. Irene Talbot gave me my start of formal education. My mom was able to volunteer that 1st grade year which she now describes as the best year of her life. SWA enabled the diverse, unique students to overcome obstacles that a traditional High School would not allow them the flexibility to reach their full potential. With the help of a dedicated and friendly staff of educators, each student at SWA has an individual plan toward graduation. In my experience, I chose to split my time between SWHS and SWA to gain self-determination in finishing my...

...I Have had many challenging things that I have went through throughout my whole life but the biggest challenge that have been fighting throughout my whole life is math. Math has been my biggest dilemma since I started middle school. When I say I hate math I really mean I hate it. I hate everything about it. I am in high school going on a senior at Wichita East High School. I have many math classes and I still hate math. When I was a little boy, I was in elementary school so math was easy. I actually loved math because it was as easy as a kid. Math was my favorite subject. I went to many elementary schools as a kid. The school that I can remember are Kelly elementary, Reawoodman elementary, and Mueller elementary but I am sure that there are...

...I want to become a teacher? Whether you believe it or not; at some point a teacher is the most important person in your life. The decision to become a teacher had always been lurking around in my head. I had made many excuses but teaching always seemed to be the best thing for my family and I. After giving the subject many thoughts, there was no doubt that teaching is my future. My number one reason for choosing education is because of my own experience, growing up in a Spanish speaking home. Although we had loving parents, school was very hard for my twin brother and I because education was not my parent’s first priority. My mother did not speak English, so she could not help us with our homework. My father spoke English but chose not to help us with homework because he was tired from a long days work. Both my parents only completed the 6th grade; I guess I can understand where they were coming from. No one had taught them the importance of a good education. My brother and I struggled in Kindergarten and had to repeat first grade. I am currently 31 and till this day, I still have problems comprehending many things. Maybe if my Dad had helped me with my work I wouldn’t have so many bad memories about my early childhood education. Besides having bad memories about kindergarten and 1st grade, 2nd grade was my best year ever, and I will never forget it. The reason being was Mrs. Hazelwood the best teacher ever! Mr. Hazelwood was the type of teacher who made you feel like...

...And Glue At a very young age my father used to always tell me “Ken, justice isn’t just.” In my younger years I just assumed that this was just another drunken quote coming from an intoxicated man so I paid the phrase no attention whatsoever. Maybe if I had believed him back in my younger years then I wouldn’t have been so hurt when I found out how true his words really are. As the weather slowly but surely changes from the comfortable temperatures of spring to the blistering hot and terribly humid weather that Memphis, Tennessee is known for, every kid in the school system starts to smile through the sweat because of one thing: miserable weather means that the school year is almost over and that the much awaited summer vacation is about to begin. This being noted even the daily sweat stains and frizzy hair can’t stop everyone on campus from enjoying this wondrous time of year. One of the best things about school this time of year is that the teachers are ready for their two months off just as much as the students. Years ago at my former high school the science department started a tradition to do class projects near the end of the school year that would count for a test grade. Although I’m not sure if the projects were for educational purposes or just because the teachers simply got lazy, I’m for sure am not going to be the one to complain about easy grades and fun classes. As I walk across the prison yard disguised as a high school into my eleventh grade chemistry class...

...The class I observed was a 1st-grade class at PS 119, located on Avenue K, Flatbush Brooklyn. My lesson was based on introducing and clarifying the strategy of, how to Identifying Problems and Solutions in a story. Throughout my lesson, I provided students with the vocabulary needed to understand the terms used. For the think-aloud, I demonstrated a story about “Brads Cat Mittens who was stuck in the tree, for students to a visual of how to identify problems and solutions in a story. Following my demonstration, during the session of guided practice I read one of the Franklin series books, “Franklin Rides a Bike by Paulette Bourgeois.” The story is about Franklin having a problem because he couldn’t ride his bike without his training wheel and all his friends could. He was feeling sad and frustrated, due to his constant trying to ride without wheels and failing which was his problem. His mom helped him and motivated him not to give up until he was good at riding. She gave him her full support by comforting him and help motivating him to find a way of fixing his problem. Franklin’s mom offered support by holding the seat of the bike while he tries to ride and when he fell and felt like giving up she comforted so he felt that it was ok to fail just keep on trying and you...

...On June 1st 1999 I was born to two lovely parents in Maryland and couple years later I had a brother. My parents were both born and raised in Pakistan which meant that they had grown up with a completely different culture than the culture in America.

...When I was in 1st grade, we got a new student in our class. “Braxton” was her name. In my workings of my mind, she looked funny. Long brown hair with bangs, rabbit teeth, really pale, had lots of freckles and on her face, had fish-like eyes. She rode my bus too, even got off at my bus stop. I never said anything to her, but asked my mom later that day why she looked so different. All she said was “Some kids look different, be nice.” My plan was to be nice, and hopefully, gain a new friend. So I later the next day, walked up to her and asked her if she wanted to play. She talked with a very odd style. As if she had an air bubble in her throat. “Can we play house?” House? I’ve never played house before, so I just said, “Okay! But you’ll...

...AOD 2218 Leadership and Communication Traits Approach to Leadership I would like to tell the story about my little girl named Julie, at the time she was in the 2nd grade. She was one to never exclude anyone. A word to describe her would be motivated in everything she would do. Julie would come home and tell about this little boy that would come in for only half a day and he was so mean to others. He would yell and scream obscenities to the other children. Within a short time the other children started picking on him. Come to find out the little boy had special needs. One day Julie decided to write a note to Bobby that reads as follows: Dear Bobby, Do you want to be my friend? I would like to be your friend but please do not curse at me. Your friend, Julie. The teacher came across the letter and was amazed at Julie’s ability to recognize the feelings and behaviors of others. At conference time the teacher conveyed that Julie’s nurturing personality and motivation seems to have made her a born leader. Situational Approach to Leadership Maddie’s last thing she wanted to go today was to her Girl Scout’s meeting.
