Early Reading Memories I do not have an excessive amount of reading memories to jot down for this assignment, however I can think of a few. When I look back in time and attempt to remember reading as a child, there is one thing that pops into my head, "Dr. Suess". The rhythm and pace that follows his books made me giggle as child and want to read more. I will begin this essay as little munchkin, then progress to an elementary school reader, and finish off as the young adult I am today. I will always remember my mother and her reading, she was fascinated!
As an example, Loke was nervous about joining the swim team at school, but did very well once encouraged. At age six, she had some trouble with math, but with some after school tutoring and fun-math related activities at home, she succeeded again. When Loke younger and her younger sister fought, they were each put into a separate room and required to remain there until they could play together peacefully. I believe that this parenting style was the best choice for Loke and she has grown up well because of
After a lot of thought, she decided to give it a try. Soon she had published her very first book called When Charlie McButton Lost Power, and it was instantly a favorite for elementary school readers. When Suzanne saw that her book was so popular, she decided that she wanted to take her writing to the next level by writing a book that would capture the attention of older readers. In 2003, she published her first novel called Gregor, the Overlander. This book was loosely based on the fairy tale of Alice in Wonderland, except the main character falls into a manhole instead of a rabbit hole, making the
From a young age Atticus would read Scout and Jem magazines, books and newspapers. He makes his children go to school every day to receive the right kind of education so they can grow up and be successful also. He always treats his children with respect and encouragement. Calpurnia, being colored, even took the children to her church knowing that it may be uncomfortable for the congregation because racism was occurring at the time and the children were white. She must have cared about those kids.
Maria Clesi ED 170 TV Paper The three shows that I watched were Sid the Science Kid: The Big Sneeze for my educational show, The Magic School Bus: Gets Ready, Set, Dough for my cartoon, and I watched Tinker Bell for my G rated movie. All of these shows I found on Netflix, which made everything a little easier. Sid the Science Kid is a very educational show to begin with. I chose the episode ‘The Big Sneeze’ because it’s the time of year that children are starting to get sick and this is an excellent lesson on why we should wash our hands. The show opens with Sid and his friends singing the theme song, then cuts to Sid in his bedroom introducing himself.
Golden Locks: Past v Present Most people in all probability enjoy reading a worthy fairytale. Read fairytales before bed is a huge part of today’s culture. In the tale of Rapunzel, a young girl is taken from her parents and is locked in to a tower. Although the plot and setting appear largely comparable, Grimm’s Rapunzel and Disney’s Tangled have more distinctions than similarities. The differences between the two are disease, and modern era’s attraction to good-hearted delinquents.
Vanessa Perez March 3, 2015 ENC-1102 Professor Valenzuela “No Child” Journal Response I really liked this story very much. I was modern and more interesting than the other stories and poems we have read in the class. Starting with the tittle “No Child”, I had a feeling it was going to be about that act “No child left behind”. I was correct, this story shows this amazing teacher wanting to teach and act this play to young teenagers that have been abused and been in many problems. Ms. Sun had faith and hope that these students could achieve in something.
The Affect of Culture On Learning Styles and Behavior Nicole Souza Marie’s parents just did not understand. It was Marie’s first time in public school and after years of tutors and home schooling, Marie was smart and bright and going to High school. What Mr. and Mrs Samuels did not understand was why their daughter was struggling in English. She was perfectly prepared for High School. Her parents got the best tutors and followed the most prestigious lesson plans they could find, triple checked that they were teaching her everything, and even went as far as to set up an appointment with every one of her teachers to make sure that she was on the right track.
If they start reading fairy tales at a young age, they have a headstart for their future. Reading helps in every way for everyone, may it be children, teenagers or adults, by building up a child’s grammar, syntax, word order and spelling. If a small child reads fairy tales, it will build up a good habit for their future. Furthermore, fairy tales teach. Stories like “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” teaches us that we shouldn’t lie.
It was only when I finally entered college that I realized I had always loved working with, and the idea of taking care of children; and what I truly wanted to do with the rest of my life was to teach children with mental disabilities. My career goal, which I have slowly been working towards throughout my 2 years in college, is to become a special education teacher for elementary students. I am currently signed up as double major in elementary and early childhood education and psychology in Queens College. I have taken many pre-requisite classes, as well as several courses specifically designed for elementary education. These courses allowed me to be taught by actual elementary school teachers, who have years of experience with working with children, and the knowledge and advice they were able to pass on truly helped me better understand what I was signing up for as an education major, and helped my improve the way I teach so that I could articulate in a way that would be comprehensible to students of a young age.
