Lead Teacher Reflection #2 1. What went well today? Provide 3 specific examples of children’s actions/comments that occurred during self-selected activities. What evidence do you have for your conclusion? DO NOT use the words, “loved, liked, enjoyed;” rather describe the evidence of children’s reactions to the learning experience. Today we went on a field trip to the gardens and it went really well. The children ran, jumped, screamed, and explored all throughout the gardens. I was so happy

As I walked to the parking lot where my mom had arrived to pick me up from school, my sister ran out of the car, ran towards me and yelled excitedly, “We’re going to Canada!” Having grown up in Kuwait for my whole life of 15 years, I could hardly believe my sister’s words. Going to Canada! I had only been out of the country twice, each time just to vacation and visit family in the Philippines where both my parents are from. I had always imagined what life would be like outside of Kuwait, and now

High School is a place where “ if opportunity doesn’t knock build a door.” . For many of us, high school is that daunting step where students go from a small fish in a small pond, to a slightly larger fish in a much bigger pond. It explains that how students start their career from “a small fish” meaning in the first year they are very new to high school, they have plenty of new and great things to learn and also many more ways to go through in their life. They will face some problems, will go through

Terrorism, one of the most twisted causes in the world, yet it is seen as heroic to some people. When considering cultural ways of viewing heros, we generally put them on the highest pedestals for what they do. They are seen as admirable and an image people strive to be. But, a twisted hero is not someone who is put on that pedestal. They are not admired and look upon as great. By definition twisted means unpleasantly, or unhealthily abnormal. Also, if you just think about it, twisted is something

people and their respective backgrounds, possibly even lifelong friendships. Every group coming together to see they are more alike than they perceived. One of these four groups consisted of Darin, Ella, and Nikki. The three of them began talking. Many of the things they discovered were surprising.

Darin, young and athletic, with an outgoing personality, is the first group member we

Baptized in the Lutheran Church as a baby, religion was always something I had known. Growing up, my family and I went to church weekly. From the time of being born, to my last year of elementary school, a semi-contemporary, Lutheran Church was my home. My first year of middle school, my family decided to switched to a more traditional church. Filled with the smell of senior citizens and old hymnals, church was no longer enjoyable. My Dad decided to not attend to church anymore (besides occasional

I think the one heroic character trait that fits Odysseus best is “cunning”. There are many stories from “The Wanderings” that shows just how cunning Odysseus is; from tricking monsters like the cyclops, to pretending to be a beggar so he could reclaim his kingdom. Some of these stories may not sound like much but without Odysseus’s cunning trait things would have ended up completely different. If Odysseus didn’t have his cunning trait he wouldn’t have been able to trick the suitors into thinking

debt. Forget about passion, that’s childish, gather all your friends and jump off the student debt bridge. I don’t believe that it can be denied that college and travel both are great tools for teaching independence. In college, you learn to do so many things that your mother was already doing for you. You learn how to do your own laundry, cook your own meals, go to bed and wake up on your own, and a semblance financial independence.

They had different education, different influences throughout their lives, and One important difference between the two girls lives is their education.
