Mrs. Peterson 's First Grade Ela Classroom Essay

It is essential to understand that classes taken in grade school do not give students a full understanding of each subject. With the topic of writing, there will always be a new lesson to learn, an aspect to improve, or a differing way to explain. Author Craig Vetter states in Bonehead Writing, “This is your enemy: a perfectly empty sheet of paper. Nothing will ever happen here except what you make happen.” Each story, essay, or response comes from a writer’s experiences. With each attempt at a new piece comes an underlying story of emotions the writer is facing. Each person’s writing is unique and the ideas people have are related to their past experiences and what they believe to be familiar with when deciding which writing style to use. As a high school student, I have learned many things about writing that helped me become the improved writer I am today, but the most essential advice I have received is practice makes perfect. Although there is no actual perfect way of writing, I have discovered that each essay I write, my writing improves. It is easier to spot mistakes, find areas to improve, and ponder elevated word choice to use.

eLoanDocs is a professional services business serving the mortgage loan industry. Launched in 1995 by Premium Title (a title and settlement service company), eLoanDocs was the solution to reducing Premium Title’s exchange time; the time it took to process mortgage approvals.

The court verified that a person is a partner and jointly liable with others in the firm “if his agreement with them is that he should be paid by the firm a fixed sum, irrespective of profits, for work done by him”.

Writing is often considered mundane and banal to some students. In fact, people have even written things down since the beginning of time. I dreaded writing until I had Mrs. Dunlap for 4th block English during my 8th grade year at Mount Juliet Middle. This is the story about how she made me the writer I am today with what I like to call ‘Write’speration.

Swain County High School (SCHS) is the only high school in the district. Traditionally, the school system has a wealth of community support. The system uses local parent and teacher surveys to provide feedback as well as participating in the 2012 North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions Survey. The North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions Survey (TWCS) provides data to schools and districts about whether schools have the supportive environments necessary for them to be successful with students. The survey consists of eight constructs and should be used by schools in positive ways to help develop school improvement plans. The feedback allows for the comparison to other schools in your own district and across the state. Specific data from each construct is summarized below.

“Students must be engaged in their learning not just because they HAVE to pass a class or a test but because the point of school is to hopefully instill a love of learning, we need to really examine the way we program students during the day,” according to the article “Are Electives Really Student Choice?”(Sackstein) Middle school students need electives because they give students an opportunity to choose classes that interest them which could improve academic success, provide students the chance to try out different areas of interest that could become careers, and they enrich a child’s learning.

Elodea will only survive when grown below the water's surface. When left out of water, elodea will shrivel up and die. Its small white flowers are the only part of the plant that will flourish out of water, and these emerge in late summer. Elodea spreads and propagates when portions of the stem break away from the parent plant and form new plants .

The reason the study focused on children in the second and third grade is because this is when children are introduced to word problems in their academic curriculum.

The ethnicity of the students selected had 109 Anglo, 14 African American, 10 Asian, 36 Hispanic, and 23 students were considered mixed (or Native American) (Swanson et al., 2015). The mean socioeconomic sample of students selected were primarily low to middle SEC.

“Why I write?” This is one of the first essay that I can recall that we went over and discussed in class. I can remember doing peer reviews, going over example essays, and other interactive class activities. I can’t say that I remember everything or loved all of it. What I can say is that I did learn and I did get a lot out of this class. I feel like I learned something about myself from writing these essays as well as how to actually write a paper.

In this story the author tells us about a girl named Sylvia, the narrator, who lives in a very low income family. A place where school is not a priority. A place where it is more important to be strong and hard, than to read a book. This was the thought anyway, before Miss. Moore moved in. She was a school teacher who took it upon herself to teach the neighborhood kids. On one summer afternoon in particular she was going to take the kids into town on a field trip. The kids are not at all happy about this because they know it is summer break and they are not supposed to be in school in the summer. They would rather be at the pool playin’, but Miss. Moore knows that if these kids want a chance at a better life,

I have been placed in a 3rd grade classroom at McCorkle Elementary school with a teacher named Emily Adams. It is not typical in Mrs. Adams class to have science, so when she informed the children of what we were going to do they were thrilled! I conducted a “science talk” that to my surprise went really well and the students were really into it. They are normally a chatty crowd that does not always pay attention or listen to their teacher. This conversation and discussion with peers was the opposite and I’m excited to share it with you today.

Beginning the writing process, I established for myself a mental roadmap. I asked myself what I was trying to say, and what the goal or intent of the writing would be. Was I attempting to persuade my readers, or to be didactic instead? I considered the "how" part of the equation later, and honed each sentence word for word. The how part of the writing process was relatively simple compared to the question of what to say, and why. I had to imbue the paper with social commentary, for there was much to say about these readings.
