Walking by Hampton Elementary, the playground is in full view. Ms. Dana’s morning preschool class can be seen playing at recess. As you watch, you see three boys chasing each other around the exterior of the equipment with another girl trailing behind. A small girl dangles from one of the highest bars, and you wonder how she got up there. Two other girls are away from the group slightly, engrossed in a game of make-believe. You smile in amusement as they engage in what looks to be a growl-off

304 students starting at Early Childhood – 5th Grade and that includes an Interrelated program. The student teacher ratio is 14:1, this school is open to the public; this school is also a Title 1 school. Since my area of interest is in elementary education, I have chosen to observe a Kindergarten classroom. All but an

America is a wonderful and free country to live in, but it’s not the #1 in being the smartest country like it used to be. Our question is, How can we get American back on top where we belong? We believe that children ages 3 to 4 can be taught Pre-k or Kindergarten material and remember it. According to studies infants and toddlers are from 28 days to 23 months.

His revolutionary forward thinking toward the education of young children, varied quite differently from structuralized education of his time, when education was reserved

During the days of being in elementary school life was stress free and it was fun not worrying about a single thing like regents or even getting ready for college except only thinking about your birthday, Christmas, and the summer. Well for some kids those memories could be happy but for others they want to erase it from history like me because I firsthand experience being bully every day from students in my class and sometimes students outside the class. What made it worse is I was in the second

In fifth grade, the year after I finally left elementary school, I was placed into a class in which I was not acquainted with anybody. That resulted in myself concluding that my 2013-2014 year in the Spring-Ford 5-6 Grade Center would be disheartening. Additionally, I was timid, which emanated in difficulty forming friendships, resulting in myself becoming lonesome. However, one day my cherishing, marvelous mother, amazed me and my siblings by bringing a four-month-old, Labrador retriever-beagle

February Kindergarten I remember my father dropping my off at kindergarten for the first day. I didn’t want to go in the room full of ADHD rotten children, but as soon as my father said “find the orange table” my mind clicked, and my objective was received. Every time someone had a birthday, we would draw pictures for them. I was the kid that would take as many colored pencils I could, scribble the shit out of the paper, and say “I drew a tornado!” Every birthday, at least one child received a tornado;

My time spent in elementary school was filled with new and exciting experiences. Starting public school meant being able to meet new friends and teachers, and learn about the world around me. I was nervous to begin school, but once I was comfortable in my new environment I created many great memories I hope to cherish for many years to come. I began as a Kindergartener at Upward Elementary school in late August 2001. It was the first experience I had in a large group of children away from my parents

How do you think not having recess affects a kid’s childhood development? Elementary schools around the U.S. have been cutting kids recess time. Recess I think is very healthy for kids and shall not be cut away from them. Students only get five minutes of recess time in elementary schools now in the United States. Recess time have been cut so that the students will have more educational time. Recess has a big effect on kids development and that’s why I think it’s so important. With

Increasing in Quality of internal communication between the teachers, parents, administrators will place great value on excellent internal communication in the school system. Recognizing and rewarding teachers who implement new ideas within the classroom is the norm and taking the time to acknowledge their effort when they solve the problem.
