C Is for Chisholm The letter C is for Chisholm. The school that I am attending currently. We have four pods. Two seventh grade gold and black and two eight grade gold and black. We have many sports that are offered to the boys and girls of Chisholm. There is tennis, track, cross country, basketball, wrestling, football and volleyball. We also have Railer Power hour for the students that need to get work done or need help with their work. The teachers in seventh grade black are really nice and helpful. We do not have any mean teachers in our pod. The elective teacher, Mr. Werner, is the best teacher that I know in eighth grade gold pod. He teaches the classes of Global Awareness and Gate Away to Technology (the only classes and that I know
Chamblee, GA is a small city outside of the metro Atlanta area that is characteristically different racially and ethnically than everything around it. The Hispanic population stands at 58.5% of the total population as of 2010, but in Atlanta and Georgia more broadly, this population only makes up 5.2% and 8.8% respectively. Additionally, only 7% of Chamblee’s population is Black, whereas this group is 54% of Atlanta’s population and 30.5% of Georgia’s. However, my alma mater, Chamblee Charter High School, stood out from the city itself being an amalgamation of a magnet program and a charter public school, bringing in students from around the county with significant representation from the Chamblee area as well. Consequently, the school’s
Because the school was open to the University and its surrounding office buildings of the city of Pittsburgh, the students came from families who were well educated and wanted to give their children a great head start in their educations. The school prided itself on being the best early childhood educator in the city. The school offered a variety of developmentally appropriate activities. The students were introduced to multicultural activities taught through everyday experiences. Teachers had their classrooms stocked with multicultural music, art supplies, books, wall hangings and snacks. The students were encouraged to explore all of these items throughout the day.

The teachers at Hickman get to know the kids on a personal level, and impact the kids lives for the good. I have learned at Hickman that it is okay to be different or basic, if you are nice to everyone you will have friends. All the kids at Hickman are friends with each other, and we all grew up with each other. I learned that Hickman will always be a second home to me, and when we come back for the luncheon, we all will be welcomed back with open

I’m proud to be a Summit Charter Collegiate Academy, SCCA, bear. When I first enrolled at SCCA as a freshman, the school was nothing but a small, dull institution that focused on academics and nothing else. There were no sports teams, clubs, or school activities. The public viewed the school as a failure and assumed that it was no place for students to grow and experience what high school is like, but SCCA is nothing like the things people say it is. It may be different from the rest of the high schools in Porterville, California, but SCCA is very unique and is genuinely determined to prepare students for the real world. I aspired to do all that I could to make SCCA a better high school, so I joined my school's leadership team, also known as ASB, during my freshman year. Since the moment I joined ASB, I fell in love with the purpose of the organization. I loved to help out the school, and I loved planning events and activities that helped create a better high school experience for all of the students.

Some of the available clubs and organizations include JROTC, Beta Club, Student Council, Annual staff, and Review staff. Those who qualify can also join the band, chorus, and theater. Taking part in these activities and sports are a privilege rather than a right. Those who wish to participate must meet academic, attendance, and citizenship requirements.
The college also shows its lack of focus on class and race in less pronounced ways throughout the programs it currently has. As I have mentioned before the only race focused program besides student clubs is the Carter G. Woodson center, which does not address the issues specific to race. Instead it tries to solve the problem in a
Mr. Wray was the first teacher and the only male teacher I observed. The class was a 7th grade Social Studies academy class. Throughout the observation I noticed he really cares about his students. He took his time going over the topic of discussion, and when some of the students couldn’t catch on he stopped to help the individuals. His class was very well behaved. The only time I really noticed any of the students socializing were when Mr. Wray put them in groups to complete a study guide. The second teacher I observed was 6th grade teacher Mrs. Dunn. She was teaching English to her students. She went over verb phrases and helping verbs throughout the class. I noticed whenever she asked questions quite a few of the students participated by answering. Mrs. Dunn had a positive attitude throughout the class period. I felt she truly enjoyed all her students and treated them the same. Even when some of the students didn’t answer questions correctly she didn’t make them feel dumb. She would just tell them good try. I could tell her students really liked her as a teacher also. The last teacher I observed at Westside Junior High was 7th grade Science teacher Mrs. Dugas. This lady came off as a very strict teacher compared to the other two I had observed. Her students were very talkative, which only made her become more annoyed when having to fuss at them. At the beginning of class the students had a bell ringer to complete. On the particular day I went the bell ringer
All of the teachers are confident in the content they are teaching and always have an answer for the questions the children have. The kids seem to be absorbing the information being taught and get their work done in an appropriate time frame. The head teacher walks around and asks questions that seek out different levels of answering, ensure the students are on task with their work and
