Itsy Bitsy Spider

Description of Center 1 The minute I walked in the students were at play. Primarily there was a lot of dramatic play going on. I overheard a conversation between two boys: Student 1: "Pretend my dinosaur just got struck and you be the doctor and pretend I call you on the phone. What’s your phone number?" Student 2: "Mmmmm... 22265" Student 1: "Ok. Hello Doctor, the dinosaur got struck, come quick, he has a torn leg. Can you come over?" Student 2: "ok..ok" I kept observing around the

I did my volunteer work at a local daycare in my hometown, Tahlequah. The site is called Tahlequah Early Learning Academy (TELA) and is a side site to Cherokee Nation Early Childhood Unit. I did not know of this center until I did my volunteer work. I really didn’t even know the building was in use because it use to be the old central for grades 5th and 6th. This building is located a couple of blocks west of Tahlequah High School. Conversely, upon doing the volunteer work, I came to find out that

Ralph Ellison’s “Invisible Man” is intricate novel that does an excellent job at exhibiting motifs that the author himself felt passionate towards considering the era he lived in.

Kevin, a two- year child with a language delay or potential language impairment uses methods such as gestures in order to communicate his needs. He has small expressive vocabulary, not able to imitate words and has limited pretend play. His gestures to help communicate seem to be a strength, in that he seems to be conscious of his potential to control the actions of others. He also has some aspiration to communicate regardless of his limited vocabulary. As I previously stated, when it comes to content

My cell phone rang as the spaghetti sauce and fresh vegetables simmered on the stovetop. After looking at the screen, I saw that it was Latria and shooed Tia out of the kitchen. Lord knows, I didn’t want her telling Trent any of my business. “Sorry Lyric, I was in the bath when you text messaged me,” Latria said. “Girl, you wouldn’t believe what happened. I ran into Diamond at the grocery store. I got close enough to her to see that she has a ring that resembles mine. I also overheard her cell phone

Ironically, the international school I went was overrun with native-thai speakers. Frequently, I would unintentionally get into trouble for speaking Thai. It would be phenomenal to speak English and satisfy the tyrannical hearts of my young farang teachers but the environment was unsupportive.
