I chose the article titled “Professor holds, calms student’s baby through lecture. I picked this article for two reasons. One being that I have been in a lecture where a student had to bring her child to class, and the other being it gives me a little faith in humanity. In this specific article a professor from Baylor University helped calm a student’s fussy four month old daughter after her babysitter fell through. He held the child through almost the entire lecture and she stayed calm the rest of the time. Although a baby could be a great distraction in a classroom, this professor was warm-hearted and welcoming of the child.
After re-reading and going over what we have been discussing this week, I’d say things have changed for the better for children. The way children are viewed and treated now is completely different from what Aries presented to us. Before reading our notes on voice thread I had never thought about childhood not being seen as a phase, even though I have

That usually shows me the teacher has great character and can sympathize with the fact that sometimes life happens. They usually throw in there not to make it a common occurrence, but the fact that they even let it be known and allow it can be a relief to some student-parents. A lot of people could agree that it would be a disturbance to class, which is completely understandable. In the situation where the babysitter cancels on you, or the child’s school or daycare facility is closed that day, it could be the better option to bring your child to class with you rather than missing class. Especially considering some classes only allow you to miss one or two days. This article and many others like it always shine light on how many professors care about their students, and how children are accepted into this
The article that I choose was teaching tolerance in America. The author of this article is Dudley Erskine Devlin. I felt like this was the best article for me to choose because of some of the points made in this article. I just graduated high school two years ago so I felt like a lot of the information provided in this article was useful. I also felt that at the same time that a lot of this information was bias. This article tells about how school systems faced many problems in the modern era and some of them are still in play today. The author had a few strong points in this paper he felt as if the kids were bringing things they learned from home and off the streets into the school system. One key area that it mentioned was a long line of
High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game are both completely opposite stories but, they also have many similarities. Imagine if you were in a situation where you had to fight someone with no help. Nobody would be able to help you and the place you were at would make you isolated. You are the good guy and the bad guy is trying to kill you just like in movies you see during your childhood. So, what would you do? This is the main thing that is happening in these amazing stories but they have a little twist. In this passage you will get to explore the differences and similarities of two stories that are very thrilling and adventurous. In High Noon, the time is ticking till your enemy and his friends
Starting her Freshman year of High School, Melinda found herself in a very dark, low, depressing, time in her life. She had lost all the ambitions she had for her High School career. She had lost her voice and passion for everything. Until Andy Evans made her find her voice after he sexually assaulted her. After all that Andy had put Melinda through made her find herself and her voice to come back from a traumatizing experience.
Aries is trying to lead, but it's hard to be a leader when there are no easy answers, and every move feels wrong. Clementine is desperate to find her brother Heath, but it's impossible to know where he'd be, even if he is still alive. Michael is still haunted by the memories of his actions during his harrowing struggle to survive. And Mason is struggling with something far worse: the fear that he may be a danger to his friends.
As parents bring children in the classroom, they sign in each sign-in sheet that contains information about the child on the day; how the child is doing, how the child slept, and how the child ate. If there is a concern about the child, there are teachers available to talk to. Teachers greet pleasantly as parents and children arrive. Some children starts playing with toys as soon as they arrive, but some start crying. Teachers hold these children and help them to say “bye” to their parents.
To some people a baby can be the best thing that ever happened to them, but then there are others who have decisions to make. They will go through an important stage in any relationship, the make it or break it stage. The two stories that I will be analyzing will be “Desiree’s Baby” by Kate Chopin and “Hills like White Elephants” by Earnest Hemingway. In both stories the characters found out how babies can be a deciding factor in a relationship, and that’s what I will be focusing on.
However, with careful planning this experience can be overcome. The mother can try easing them into a daycare program on a part-time basis. This will allow for the kids to adjust to being away from her for breif periods of time. In doing this the caregiver should never just leave them without re-enforcing the fact that she will return and everything is going to be just fine. The mother can, also explain where you are going and when you will be back. Eventually, she will come to understand that mommy will be back. The third option would be to interact with the class; this will give her time to settle into the class sitting and relax. Once she has established friendships with her classmates, the caregiver leaving is less stressful for both mother and child. Another suggestion is to leave them with a positive attitude, do not let them notice that you are frustrated or upset with leaving them. Children feed off of emotions, so if the mother is nervous or agitated them, they will in turn act out also. At the end of the day engage with them about their time in school. Encourage them to enjoy this time meeting new friends and learning all types of new skills. Children love to impress their parents as much as parents want to witness them thrive, in all area of their formative life. Making this a daily activity gives Candace the time to bond and comprehend that she is becoming independent while still being a mommy’s
The first article that stands out to me is, “Mothers vs. the Board of Education.” Why this article resonates with me is because I could identify with the mothers throughout the article. I always want to believe that people will just do the right thing and what they say or agree too will be what happens. My personal values or beliefs are that if it is good enough for me then it is good enough for you and when I read this article over that was not the case.
Why did I choose this article? Race is a big issue. Especially in the child
During our conversation many topics were discussed. During my time talking to the family I started to notice a few worrisome details. First, the mother was going to stay home with the infant while the father went back to work. Though she had a lot of family present for the birth, they don’t live in Colorado. The mother shared she has struggled with depression during her pregnancy and was worried about if it was going to come back. It became clear that I needed to focus my teaching on educating the family about postpartum depression due to the mothers’ risk factors. I questioned the
Families are involved in their children’s learning through many different means. Parents are greeted by the kindergarten teachers at morning drop off and at the end of the day for dismissal and if any information needs to be disclosed or discussed the teachers and parents will take that opportunity to communicate with each other. Communication to families is also done through letters that go home whenever there is important information that needs to be shared. This works successfully for the parents who have nannies or relatives drop off and pick up their children. In this case, when face to face contact is not being made with
I took over a maternity leave for a classroom teacher in a District 75 school. It was a self-contained classroom with a 6:1:2 ratio with three boys and three girls all diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The children’s nationalities range in two are Hispanic, two are East Asian, one is European and one is of African descent. The students’ primary language is English and their ages range from 6 ½-8 yrs. old. The students are all high functioning and they are all verbal. The classroom students receive a variety of services individually and there is push-in instruction for whole classroom support. The supports and services include occupational and physical therapy speech, as well ESL. The day starts when the students enter the
Every year, approximately six to eight million unwanted animals enter U.S. shelters every year. Even worse, only half ever leave alive. Three to four million cats and dogs are euthanized each year. Well over quarter-million a month, 68,000 a week, 405 each hour, one every nine seconds. (Geyerr, 2015). Every local animal shelter is filled to capacity with cats and dogs of all ages and breeds. Some are surrendered, most are lost or abandoned, but all are unwanted. Euthanasia in animal shelters is the leading cause of death of healthy dogs and cats. While the reasons for this crisis are multi-faceted, they 're not complex. And, the problems that cause animals to become homeless and end up in animal shelters are preventable. An
Summer is ending and with that, parents are getting ready to send their children back to school. This usually means there's a new schedule to become acquainted with. For some children, making this transition is easy, for other children it's more difficult. Some children are excited about the prospects of meeting a new teacher, being in a new room and learning new things, while others cringe at the thought of change. Change is not always an easy thing to get used to no matter how old you are. Our clients are going through changes; changes in their lives, changes in their bodies, changes emotionally and changes mentally. Through our Bridges to Parenthood Program we are able to guide our clients through these changes, helping them to develop healthy
A prerequisite to success in any in any endeavor is "showing up", and classes are no exception. If you're not showing up to class, you're forfeiting every opportunity provided to you in the classroom.
