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
Air pollution is a phenomenon that there are harmful materials in the earth’s atmosphere.

The Purpose of an Education Many of today’s youth do not see the purpose of education. Students, however, have goals and ambitions they want to fulfill when they reach adulthood. They want to be the lawyers, doctors, teachers, computer analysts, and government officials. They want to have salaries that exceed $50,000 so they can drive the BMW(s) and Lexus(es). To fill these positions, young people need to meet the qualifications and they will see that it fundamentally comes down to
Miguel de Allende with a German educational system much known as Waldorf education, I learned interacting with nature while I was developing some skills, my parents always said that they don´t know exactly at what age I learned to read, write, multiplication, add, subtract, etc… they have never listened from me about a homework or a test. I learned through creativity and emphasized the role of imagination in learning and artistic development, it was a outdoors teaching it was the perfect childhood
Egyptian mathematics began as early as 6000 B.C. One thing the Egyptians are known for is taking measurements with their body parts. For example, a cubit was the length from elbow to fingertips and they often used the palm of their hand to measure land and buildings in early Egyptian times. They also used their hands to develop a decimal numeric system based on our ten fingers. This was thought to be the earliest developed base ten number system as early as 2700 B.C. The Egyptians used hieroglyphic
The St. Michaela's School has a new dilemma! The parents are stating that the students should get a smaller amount of homework each day. The teachers think not! There stating that at least 15 minutes could increase the student's knowledge 15% or more! Secondly, It encourages students to use time more wisely. Finally, it helps the parents and the kids bond over stuff like algebra , math, or other school topics. On my part i'm personally on the teachers side! But you can take what ever side you want
project. This midterm project was for me and my group to create a one week unit instruction. I chose to work with third graders under the domain of algebraic thinking. My unit instruction was based on the Arizona standard 3.OA.A-4, dealing with multiplication and division and finding the missing factors. As a group we were required to come up with a diagnostic, formative and summative assessment. We were to come up with a way to manage our students learning and also include accommodations. We were
In my last writing journal, I talked about why people like Donald Trump are so popular. Since then I read a CNN article in which they interviewed people at Trump rallies and asked them why they supported the man. My takeaway was that these people are afraid of change. This is actually pretty obvious if you think about the last word in Trump’s campaign slogan. Trump wants to make America great again. The “again” implies that we’ve lost something, that we’re not as good as we used to be. Obviously
Many civilizations experienced golden ages in which technology and ideas flourished. The changes in these times affected the world forever. The Hellenistic age and the Scientific Revolution were two of these time periods. All of the contributions made changed the world forever and have changed the ways that we act and think. The Hellenistic Age caused developments because of Alexander the Great’s desire for a unified empire, instead of many city-states and countries. This age preserved and diffused
Guild (2001) says “We… are products of external influences, especially within our immediate family, extended community, and culture.” This is important, as an educator, to keep in mind when teaching ELL students. This is important to keep in mind when teaching children from other cultures, also. The information I gained from reading and watching the learning resources in weeks two and three were very valuable in observing the student I chose to observe. The student I chose, J, is in a team member’s
