A typical seven-year old child provided they started Kindergarten at the age of five, would probably be in the second grade. The grade-level a lot of times depends on the birthday month of the child and the month cutoff determined by the county, for example in order for a child to be enrolled in Kindergarten in Gaston county, he must be five years old on or before August 31st of that school year ("Kindergarten and Pre-Kindergarten Registration"). The child’s family situations and history will vary from child to child, even classrooms and schools will vary. In the Gaston county school district alone there are approximately 20 elementary schools out of a total of 55. A lot of these schools are located in rural areas like that of Chapel Grove Elementary or in suburban areas such as that of Gardner Park Elementary. Each one is going to be different. Classroom size is going to vary as well. My son’s second grade class consists 19 students where as a school such as Gardner Park may have more. My nephew, who is private school, is in a classroom with only 9 other children. Physical Development Physically a typical seven year-old child weighs approximately 22.9 kg or about 50.5 pounds and is approximately 121.7 cm tall or 48 inches ("Height / Weight Charts: Child Care - WebHealthCentre.com", 2015). This may also vary due to family situations or even culture. For example, students have shown that Euro-American and European children tend to be the medium between the taller and longer
On April 08, 2016, I arrived to my designated school, Cypress Point Elementary School. Upon my arrival to Cypress Point Elementary School, I went to the main office of the school to see the assistant principal, Mrs. Dewitt. She could not make it to school on time, due to her having car troubles. The secretary told me she would notify her that I arrived and to set me. As I waited for Mrs. Dewitt, I noticed quite a few students having to call home due to violating the school dress code. Mainly it was more girls violating the dress code than boys. I am assuming from what I saw, the children only wore clothes that they saw the adults wore, or whatever their parents picked out for them. During this time, I noticed a little Asian or Hispanic boy being brought to school but he was supposed to be at home due to suspension. The secretary asked him “Why are you at school?” This young man told the secretary that his mother brought him to school. The secretary informed him that he needs to call his mother so that she
I went to the same elementary school from kindergarten to 5th grade, Suncoast Elementary School. My brother, my sister and I all went to Suncoast Elementary school from k-5th. My sister is still in elementary school, but once she gets out she’ll either go to Gulf Coast or Powell. My brother, my sister and I all had the same kindergarten class room but always had a different teacher. At that school my brother would hang out with the people in the office often so when I got there they all knew my name and was extra nice to me. This is only about my experience from kindergarten through 3rd grade.
Ever since this kid was in second grade, he always wanted to be in band. I was there when he heard the Keller Middle School band play for his school, and even though he didn’t get to high-five Frosty the Snowman I knew he was excited. In fact, he was so excited that he threw me off and I was shipped off to the lost and found for a day, until he got me because there’s no doubt he was cold without me. Anyway, Shane always had his heart set on being in band. The band director, Mr. Maus, had told everyone to tell him if they wanted to be in band once they got to Bear Creek Intermediate, and that’s exactly what he did. Shane was determined to do exactly what he wanted this time.
Standard measurements- the child’s height and weight could be tested to see if they are growing at the speed of their age. If the child is smaller than they should be that could be because they have a disability or from the characteristics of their parents.
This plan took place in 8th grade year, I was a new student at Sunland elementary. It was around September when this event occurred. I learned to not try to impress others making bad decisions that could lead to big trouble.
I was a first grader at Esqueda Elementary School. I had a mean teacher that never let you go to the restroom no matter how many times you asked. Would call your parents if you didn't finish your homework. I would get distracted easily and would never comprehend what I read and when she would ask me a question about a page we read and I would never give her an answer because I was not paying attention. Because of that, she flunked me and while everyone else got moved up to 2nd grade. I was still stuck in the first grade and had to meet new friends. I did not repeat the same grade with the same teacher, I had a nicer teacher and she did not flunk me. I did not go to the second grade there. I was transferred into a different school which is Eisenhower
I wait in the lobby of Edinboro Elementary for my younger brother, surrounded by vibrant colors, and drawings of what the children who attend there want to be when they grow up, coupled with adorably misspelled descriptions underneath. I walk over to glance at one, depicted is a squiggly-drawn superhero and underneath it reads“Wen i grow up i want to be A superhero.” It reminds me of how innocent and simple life is when you are young. Before I managed to read another poster I notice my brother running down the hall in his blue, Pokémon shirt, with a smile that spans from ear to ear, which could only mean that it is Friday. When we entered my car I ask him the usual, “How was your day? Did you have fun at school today? Did you learn anything
“Give me the ball!” a voice threatened, but I continued to dribble the ball. “Hey! Did you hear me? I want the ball!” the voice screamed. As I whirled around to examine what the commotion was, an iron fist smashed into my right eye, leaving me incapacitated. Jonathan Morris gifted me with a black eye.
Superior Elementary school was the best school. I was so anxious to start the fourth grade. Me and my siblings would lay out our new school outfits and have everything ready for school the next day. We would also have our book bags full of supplies put together all neat in the bags put to the side. The day before schools start me and my two sisters would go get our hair done at the salon. My brothers would get a haircut.

It was a Tuesday afternoon and the heat in Mr. Martin's room felt as if we were next to the sun. The schools maintenance crew always kept the furnace on the highest setting possible. “So class what did we talk about yesterday ?” said Mr. Martin as he takes out the 590 page textbook on accounting and finance. “We talked about how to find assets, liabilities and owners equity,” says Ms. Know” it all in the front of the classroom.” As Mr. Martin begins his lesson, I quietly whisper to my best friend Jake, “Hey man, did you do the homework from last night?” “Nope, I forgot to read the chapter and finish the worksheet. I Kinda got side tracked playing Battlefield” said Jake. Then Mr. Martin Stood up and said “ Alright, now I'm going to come around
Imagine you are a new kid at school. You are overweight, you have no friends, and your grades are bad. How would you feel if you were that child? You would feel depressed. Any child who has to go through that should not have to.
It was late fall of 2008. I was ten years old and was in the fourth grade at an elementary school that was just down the street from where I lived. It was the one day that my mother allowed me to spend the night at my friend’s house on a school night. I was filled with excitement, and I can feel my pupils dieting just as if I saw Tasmanian tiger right in front of my face , but I couldn’t shake this feeling I had in my stomach as if I had a had a big knot that was filled with fear. Nevertheless I chose to ignore it.
My story begins in the fall of my fifth grade year, my elementary school had us take a state administered exam which tested our proficiency in reading and writing. The purpose of the exam was to not only test our comprehension, but make sure we were prepared for middle school. A few months passed and the scores were finally in! My teacher decided to publicly announce who passed and who failed the exam. I remember the day like it was yesterday, up to that point I'd never felt that feeling before. I couldn't identify it, I just knew it didn't feel good, for the first time in my life I felt dumb. All of my friends passed with flying colors, and not only did I fail, but I was reading on a third grade level and faced the possibility of not being promoted.
At the background of this case study lies the need to assess the development of five year old in a school setting. This entails several specific outcomes which are generally expected from education, and the theoretical framework that shapes the curriculum for early years education. Starting from play, as one of the core concepts in modern early years curriculum, this study aims to evaluate theoretical aspects – such as developments in social, behavioral, cognitive abilities of children through play – and then connect them with the behaviors observed in a study group. This is a challenging task, because, as witnessed from the study group, there are many problems – especially for educators – in creating a well structured and enticing
