The first bell at 7:20 rung for 1st period, Mariah is walking in the hallways trying to find her class. When she looked up to see the room numbers this random boy bumped into her by accident and dropped her papers. He bent over to pick them up and hand them to her. He replied “You must be new?” Mariah said “Yeah I am, do you know where
I observed him throughout the day and within the first ten minutes of the class it was obvious that Mrs. Saenz, his Math teacher had a history with this student’s behavior. I observed how the teacher was giving them instructions for their first lesson. She asked the children if they had any questions in regards to the lesson. John and several other children raised their hands. She answered a few questions from several students and stated that everyone should know what they are doing and to start on their assignment.
The organization of the room allowed for successful learning and definitely attributed to successful classroom management. The objectives for each subject were posted in the front of the classroom on the whiteboard. Upon entering Mrs. Howell's classroom at 8:00 A.M., she was reviewing a math worksheet previously done the day before. Students were correcting their answers and answering questions by raising their hands. When Mrs. Howell called on students to answer her questions, she stated their first name every time and used positive feedback after each answer.
For instance in her algebra class , when her teacher explains the way to solve the problem or what ever they may be learning that day she would understand it the first time she hears him explain it. She always wants to know something new. Jasmine is very sweet and she can get along with everyone that come in contact with her. She will also help anyone that needs help. She would try to help someone with there work even if she doesn't know how to do it.
She asked the mother had she ever attended a team meeting before and when she replied “No” the team proceeded to do “High Fives” around the table as the mother and her sister looked at each other with stunned looks. She went on to say that the group would spend the first 5 minutes buttering her up and go over what was wrong with her daughter in painful detail. That’s exactly what they did. The team leader told the mother “If there’s something you don’t understand we prefer that, and then we’ll all covert looks, you’ll cry and we’ll all go to lunch.”! She went on to say to before we conclude the flattery portion of this meeting we want give you this brief brochure with your rights and drops this huge stack papers in front of the mother as she cracks a joke about lifting from
During the end of the first day of sophomore year I remember walking into the room "eight-zero-one" at my high school and thinking "why would the counselors give me a chorus class?" I didn't think of myself as a singer. I mean, playing piano for twelve year has been a great experience and I have always strived to achieve excellence in all classes, activities and groups to which I belong; but singing? I can only remember singing in the shower and occasionally to my dogs. As I took a seat, the chorus direction, Ms. Morrow, introduced herself and began to teach us how to read music.
It had finally arrived the day of my first day of school, that night I hardly slept at all I was nervous of course who wouldn´t be. I arrived at the gates of school with all the hundreds of students from all different grades, I went to the front office where a lady took me to homeroom and I was told the students where in a break; so I just waited in the classroom for the bell to ring, just waiting for all the students to rush in and see a new face in their class. After a while the bell finally rang and students started walking into class and they all looked at me until they sat down, the teacher came up to the front of the class and as every other teacher
It says on pg. 20-21, (Scout as the narrator) “Miss Caroline and I had conferred twice already….You’re shamin him Miss Caroline. Walter hasn’t got a quarter at home to bring you, and you can’t use any stovewood.”Just recently their teacher Ms. Caroline has just asked the class who brought lunch, and if they had to put it on the table. All the kids seemed to have lunch except the one kid Walter Cunningham. Ms. Caroline asked him what’s wrong and eventually he mumbled that he doesn’t have lunch.
“The Yellow Wallpaper” and the Direct Instruction of Literary Analysis Many secondary teachers of literature, at least those who have taught more than one year, walk into the classroom that first day in August not only with the excitement that called them to teaching to begin with, but also with feelings of dread and inadequacy. They ask themselves questions such as, “How can I get these kids excited about reading?” or “How can I make them see that this is important?” or possibly most often, “How can I help them understand the texts?” These teachers realize that upon beginning that first piece of literature, they are bound to be faced with the adversities of misunderstanding and reluctance, or even refusal, to read on the parts of their students. Oftentimes, this disconnect between what the teacher expects and the students’ responses results not from a lack of ability on the part of the student, but from a lack of communication on the part of the teacher. Twelfth grade students, for example, may have spent their last three years in high school having teachers explain texts to them, rather than being purposefully directed to analyze the works themselves and form their own opinions. This style of
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.
