Personal Narrative-Fair Grouping

For my Field Experience I chose to observe at Krahn Elementary which is a part of Klein Independent School District. After my approval, I was assigned to four teachers and their classrooms. I observed at Krahn Elementary on six Tuesdays between 15 September 2015 and 27 October 2015, and more or less followed the schedule that was given to me by the Assistant Principal Ms. Shannon Strole. From 8:30 am to 9:15 am I observed Ms. Judy Burkes, who is a third grade Math and Science teacher. Her classroom is comprised of twenty students which range from average to below average learners and a student with ADHD and another with autism. For most part of my observation, M. Burkes had been working with her students on fractions and multiple digits addition and subtraction. From 9:15 am to 10:30 am I observed Ms. Lisa Parker who is a Math co-teacher and resource teacher at Krahn Elementary for grades K-5. During my assigned time, Ms. Parker usually joined Mr. Duru’s fifth grade class of twenty three students as a co-teacher and when required would pull out a group of six students after initial instructions from Mr. Duru and would teach them the concepts separately at a slower pace. This particular group of students with special needs was mostly seen to be focusing more and more on mathematical word problems. These students were students with Learning disabilities, behavioral issues and one of them was a student with ADHD. From 10:30 am to 11:15, I was with Ms. Janice Bluhms, who is a

My goal is to assess student’s prior knowledge of division and to teach students how division can be modeled by using place-value blocks so students can see that division consists of arranging items into equal groups. My goal for day one is to help students develop and understanding of division through the use of manipulatives and drawings so when they transfer that knowledge to day two, students will have a better sense that division consists of dividing a large number into equal groups. By using place-value blocks I also want students to visually see what a remainder looks like so they can better understand what a remainder represents. Sometimes students can’t understand the definition of a remainder which is the part that is left over after

After a challenging move from De Pere to Sturgeon Bay between my freshman and sophomore year, I can officially say that I have adapted well to my new community. In the beginning of sophomore year, one of my goals was to become as involved in my new high school as I was my old high school. I have accomplished that by becoming a part of the soccer team and joining a variety of clubs that all mean a lot to me. For example, A-Team works with other students that have learning disabilities to make social interaction a little more comfortable. In my opinion, creating a better learning environment for them not only benefits all of the students in that environment but it feels really rewarding.

For the Kidwatching Project Part 1, I found myself interviewing a few students on the concept of multiplication and division. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, multiplication is defined as the process of adding a number to itself a certain number of times: the act or process of multiplying numbers. Merriam-Webster Dictionary also defines Division to be the act or process of dividing something into parts: the way that something is divided (Merriam-Webster, 2015). Multiplication and Division is a subject that many different students in early ages can grasp or struggle with because the concept of using different ways to approach these particular problems. Many kindergarten children can solve simple multiplication and division problems

I did a lot over Round-Up, but my favorite was going to the carnival, seeing my Aunt Ronna, and being inside. I like being inside most the time, because after like 9:30 drunk people came out and started being really loud. In the day i was aloud to to outside during the day i just didn’t like to because of all the people i’m not and are a social person kinda, also I was busy i did some cleaning laundry and it was to hot.

The group that I worked with had a lot of fun hunting together. I worked with Angelique, Harrison, and Maria. The most difficult part for my group and I was trying to find times where we could all get together, but we were able to do it and get it done!

Last Friday, I went to the Career Fair and there were eleven organizations. Out of the eleven organizations, I only went up to three organizations because I was more interested in their companies.

She carries symbolic bracelets and tangled up headphones and torn playbills. She carries crumpled sheet music, a highlighted play script, a rusty gun and holster, an old calculator, worn out journals for writing fragmented lyrics, passionate feelings, unforgotten memories, and so much more. Twice or three times a week she carries packets of law and a lunch that was packed that morning. She carries a water bottle that is always half empty, or much like herself, half full, depending on how you see it. Wyatt carries the priceless shark tooth necklace she gave him, locked away somewhere unknown. Hannah carries the cheap but meaningful books that she gave her, unread but still valued. Her mother carries the candy she gave her, hard but sweet, a reflection of her soul. Something they all carried in common, was that they all carried something that was given; taking turns, they carried pieces of her shattered heart.

This they need to make math more fun. I can relate to the child. They need more learning activities for the class. However, they are limited on funding. They can’t use a pencil one student tried to stab another so they have to use markers.

On Thursday, December 14, 2017 at approximately 9:40am I, Officer Jaren Wren was conducting Supervision Sanction Program (SSP) pill call and observed that Resident Jessica Harris ACC# 714001 hair was braided. I asked Resident Harris who braided her hair she stated she did. I told Resident Harris to step out of line, remove a braid and redo it. Resident Harris began taking the braid down, but couldn't re-braid it. I then gave Resident Harris a direct order to remove the braids, and in a very aggressive tone she said, "No!" I then told Resident Harris to face the wall to be placed in restraints. She then said, "Bitch don't put your hands on me!" and began resisting at that time.

On 09/04/2015 at 20:32 hours, I conducted a motor vehicle stop of a Ford F-150 bearing NJ registration X70DNC for failing to maintain lane on Hurffville going northbound. I activated my overhead lights and sirens and conducted the stop in the A15 lot of the Deptford Mall.

From the New Year approaching, and I am still looking for work in the state. This week the most important thing is Tuesday's job fair. I got my resume ready early, and I got to know more interested companies. Before the job fair, I was fortunate enough to have received a phone call from a company that had previously voted on the talent website and was invited to attend the interview. I went to an early education institution, the interviewer is very friendly, briefly describes some of their company's situation, as well as the main work content. I also asked the most concerned about the issue, and one by one to be answered. But this institution is often a night shift, which is inconvenient for me, home at night will be more dangerous, the interviewer also expressed understanding, and let me go home to ask the views of parents, give them back.

Life isn't fair I realized this when my brother wanted ice cream but couldn't get any and I got some. He believed this to be unfair, but I relied that life isn't fair so we should stop trying to make it fair. My brother and I were riding to get ice cream at goodies one of the many candy shops in bend Oregon. When we arrived I could smell the sweet satisfying smell of candy. I could see the chocolates lined up in the cantainers underneath the counter in the back I could see the list of favors including mint chip chocolate and cherry I got a cone of mint chip it was mine and my brothers favorite flavor I put my hand in my pocket to pull out some money to buy two cones one for and one for my brother I only had 3 dollars just enough to buy my own

As dusk fell on me, the bright colors of the town fair swiveled around my mind in a carnival of bliss. My mind—relaxed, free, and filled with jubilation. With the heightened feeling of joy, I could fly to the moon and back. The sickly-sweet smell of cotton candy paraded my nose and settled throughout my body. I could almost taste the candied confections all around me, from fried churros to decadent chocolate pies. The cheerful laughs that surrounded me were overtures to the excitement I felt coming.

The student I observed is a fifth grade student in an ICT classroom. For the purposes of this report, we will call this student Dave(a pseudonym). Dave is 10.5 years old. He is a student in the after-school program in which I am the director of. I have known him since the summer of 2015. We solved the problem in my office during after school. When I asked Dave how he felt about math, he told me: “I feel like math is very fun, once you get used to it.” When I asked him about specifically about problem solving, he told me “You have to think about problem solving like a game! Like in division, you have to destroy creatures and figure out how to put the creatures in equal groups”.
