Classroom Reflection

I have many fond memories during my middle school experience. I loved all of the sports and organizations I was a part of through my journey in the middle school. I made new friends when I joined all of the sports and organizations. Being a part of organizations made me more responsible, have better time management, and have new friends. I am involved in basketball, softball, student council, and Remembering Adam.

During our three years at Cupertino Middle, we learned a lot. Not just about quadratic equations and the solar system, but also about friendship, kindness, and courage. We worked hard, had fun, and went out of our comfort zones everyday. Who new that we would survive the roller coaster ride of middle school and be here getting our diplomas. But we did. Now we are going to high school, hoping we can change the world for the better. Using the skills and formulas we learned, we just might be able to make a difference.

That year was grueling to get through but as the days went by I started to get used to the different feelings I was experiencing daily in mylofe. This was a life lesson to me, it made me tell myself constantly that “I have to be a good person no matter what comes my way”, I cannot stoop to such a low level of selfishness of only making myself happy and not people that surround me. It shaped me into the thoughtful young man I am today. During my first year at Mary Carroll High School, I felt like everyone was identical to me, no one had an impact on me in a star stunning way at all, until I switched schools to Branch Academy. Here, it feels like I found my inner self, I feel untroubled and I can get used to the people here, met my girlfriend here and I instantly connect with

My time spent in the Clinical setting, so far, has been extremely inciteful as to how to become a better educator in a classroom setting. Through the data I collected I was able to connect Borich’s Seven Variables of learning to the students. By being in the clinical setting for nearly two months, I have been exposed to new ways of thinking when it comes to structuring a classroom and instructing a classroom. Within this reflection you will find out how I would better plan an effective lesson for the pupils in my future classroom. You will also discover what I will do about certain issues in the classroom and how I will address/fix them.

I remember walking into Cedar Ridge for the first time, seeing new faces, new halls, but also seeing many opportunities and new things awaiting me. All of the welcoming teachers, principles, and staff stood door to door smiling and guided us in the right direction as we walked in circles trying to find our first English class. I was a cheerleader on the junior varsity squad, every girls “perfect” dream to starting high school.

This year, 2016 and 2017, was my first time at Early College High School. I was very worried and scared at the beginning of the year, but now, I am more comfortable at this school. From re-dos to essays, I have learned a lot this year from my English class. There are many things that I will forget, however, there are also memories and actions I will keep. Lastly, there is advice that I will provide for the upcoming sophomores.

My time at Jefferson Middle School didn’t impact me in one way. Instead, it brought about a new kaleidoscope of lessons and memories. I could tell you about the numerous nights I had spent on projects, and how I had learned to stop procrastinating (well...sort of). I could tell you about how Jefferson had taught me not only what was required in the state standards, but also many life lessons such as the significance of failure or how one person can change so many others as well. I could also tell you about how I learned analysis and perspective. However, if there was one thing I would continue to bring with me to high school, it would be how Jefferson had taught me the sense of community.

Reflecting on these past few years I have experienced here at Sam Houston high school are very amazing, they ensure me that I will have an amazing successful future once I graduate from here soon. Attending this school has allowed me to grow as person mentally and academically. The teachers here always expect us to perform to best of our abilities in and outside of class.

I have learned many concepts this year, One concept was about algebra tiles. Also algebra tiles are used to make algebra problems I learned that in Mrs.pilato's 5th period Class. They also help me in math by making it more easier to learn. Another concept, I Learned This year is the Asian Empire I learned about dynasties like the Yang Dynasty in Mrs.Jensen’s class.I found it interesting that their Customs are believing in dragons and were intertained by Arena fighting. The third concept, I Learned was how to be more responsible by caring for my pets by feeding them everyday, also showing love and affection towards them. Also working by myself on independent study and finishing my work there too. These nice and interesting concepts are only a

I learned how to settle disputes amongst each other, how to valuable and be respectful of each other's time and how to get everyone to all contribute to the work we have in an evenly way. One thing that I definitely learned was integrity and it's effects on words, actions, and decisions. I built myself of the morals of integrity because this year I dealt a lot with people who said things and did things to me that didn't show those types of sportsmanship skills. I am still learning to be an empowered learner as we finish high school mainly because I always set goals and never monitor or achieve them. All this also requires responsibility which I try and improve every year but I often lack in getting myself to do the things I need to do. As I have learned a lot this year, I've also noticed that I still have a lot more to achieve to become the best individual that I can.

I have learned many concepts this year. One was about fractions and how they are a numerical quantity that is not a whole number.I learned that in math class,fifth period,with Mrs.Pilato. I am so glad that I learned that because last year I did not know any of this. Another I learned was about tone and how it conveyed through the choice of words. We can use tone in essays and it is easy to learn. I have learned about tone is language arts,7th period,in Mrs.kavan class.It’s great to have her around. Last thing I’ve learned was about eurasian.I’ve learned about how eurasion is half asia and half Europe and together its eurasian. I have learned this in history class,2nd period,in Mrs.Kavan’s class. I have

These past four years have really been a life changing experience. From a childish freshmen not only at school but at home too, to a still sometimes childish senior, one who knows when and how to control himself. This school and its teachers have taught me so many lessons that will not be forgotten any time soon.

This year, I started out as a freshman in highschool. This experience has been one I truly loved and learned a lot from. The years I have spent in elementary school have prepared me with basic knowledge and life skills to prepare me for middle school and further character development. Middle school was focused more on preparing students with time management skills, self teaching, adapting to new experiences, and people skills. The past 8 years of school have been building me up to enter high school and truly start my academic path to success in the real world.

The teachers taught me well, while my peers taught me more about life. I made my best friends in middle school and we are a family now. I cherished the time I spent in middle school. I was a top student who was doing well, had many friends, and was making a name for myself in sports and extracurricular activities. Then once again graduation rolled around and I had to leave all of the good things behind. But I was ready to embark on an education that was more geared towards my future.

Teaching can be a challenge, you never know what to expect and each classroom will be unique. However, you will always have to be prepare for teaching in a situation you may not be comfertable with. Educating students and practicing proper knowledge on subjects such as race, class, gender, sexual orientation and disability are vital in creating a safe and respectful classroom for all. School is often looked upon as a place of security for students and it is our job as teachers to help maintain that status.
