Summary: ROWVA Central Elementary

In our class some kids forget their homework. I’m not saying it’s not a mistake but it has become more of a problem as the year has gone by. You can fix this problem by doing many things. You could get organised, or even put it in your folder right after you get that worksheet or assignment done. If you forget your homework at school you could ask your teacher if you could come in before class starts and do your homework at that time. But with that solution comes another. If you can come in for recess you could get your homework done at that time or you could get it done at AP. That’s how you could fix the problem of forget your

I teach in an eighth grade classroom that is set in a Jr-Sr. High school. It is located in the Jr. High hallway, near the rear of our high school. I have thirty-two student desks situated in rows and two small tables at the front of my room used for paper pick up. I painted my room a turquoise beach blue and it is decorated with various beach themed paraphernalia. I also have many inspirational quote posters up around my room, hoping to engage my students into deeper thinking. The students all have their own Chromebooks and I have a desktop computer as well as a Samsung Tablet. Many computer applications suited for 1:1 schools are used in our building. We begin our day at 7:40am with a zero period for professional development and meetings. The students have seven, forty-five minute periods beginning at 8:20am and continuing until 3:15pm. My classes include four “regular” English classes, one “Honors” class, an Essential Skills class that rotates every week with two other teachers, and a prep period. My duties throughout the year consist of sponsoring the Jr. High Student Council as well as parking lot duty for two weeks during second semester. We adhere closely to the Indiana State Standards and use the ISTEP and NWEA mandated assessments. We, as teachers, are given free rein to teach how we see fit; however, we were asked to submit curriculum mapping outlining the content/topics, key terms, sources/resources, assessments

We have cubbies were students put their belongings. We have tables that either two to three students can sit and do their work or activities. A few ways to improve my classroom would be to have a few more educational poster like of nutrition, grammar (nouns, verbs, adjectives and etc.), separating the different elementary grade levels so they near posters that would benefit them and adding activity board where students can draw or use it. The positive things in the classroom is that the room is separated into two parts so kids doing homework is in one part and kids playing is in the other part. Also, having posters that are beneficial to what kids are learning in school and the individuals’ cubbies for each student and the

My video followed the story of Frances Collins-Moore, a counselor at Marshall Fundamental High School. Her story highlights many topics related to school counseling including the importance of being flexible with professional duties, working directly with your student population, communicating with parents, student and teacher advocacy, and the importance of self-care. She worked as a teacher for ten years before transitioning to school counseling and has worked in a direct counseling role for the last ten years. I really appreciated her holistic approach to school counseling. She recognizes that different approaches are needed with different students in order to properly motivate them and address their concerns. She also sees herself as a

Have you ever heard the phrase it takes a village to raise a child? If you consider the lives of most children, it really does take a village to raise a child. Most children have a mom, a dad, grandparents, teachers, aunts, uncles, family, friends and more that are a part of their life and that somehow influence their lives. I personally think it is the responsibility of all adults that are in a child’s life to help them grow into a well-rounded individual. Especially a teacher.

“Oranges” and “Seventh Grade” are both written by Gary Soto. They both have a similar theme and conflict, however, they do share some differences including format and tone. In “Oranges” he shows how the girl and boy are dating while in “Seventh Grade” they are not. However, the theme stays the same in both stories. Throughout the stories, you will see similarities and differences. I will tell you about some of the most important ones.

Donna Jordan 's kindergarten Class of 1992 had some helpful hints on how to cook a Thanksgiving turkey.

The author, researchers from the Junior Scholastic provides information dealing with mass shooting. They use statements and opinions from President Obama to support the legislative argument. For example, the Junior Scholastic provides President Obama opinion about gun violence. They also provide some individual arguments against gun control. The informational based topics in the article are equally distributed and understandable. Researchers from the Junior Scholastic also provides information about the Second Amendment and the role it plays. One weakness is the seven states that rifle controls survived was not listed. Statistics from older research was used mainly to explain mass shootings. Gun supporters and advocates benefits the most

In my class at Peavy the students are allowed to go the bathroom at any time as long as they flip the sign on the door. The students are expected to work on their handwriting folder after they finish copying their vocabulary and sight words. When the kids do well the teacher gives them a puffball. When they misbehave she moves their clip down the posted sign. When they are very on target she moves them from the neutral position to the positive position.

I will circumvent the room and stamp the homework every day it is expected and will gather the note pads every few weeks to

Ever wanted to see the cleanest locker ever? I am giving the “Cleanest Locker Award” to my superb friend Alessandro. He spends huge amounts of time on his locker. His locker is never unorganized and if it is he fixes it very quickly. Alessandro is never late to any of his classes because everything is in order. His locker is the only thing that is organized all the rest of his school supplies are everywhere. If it isn't in his locker it is gone forever. Alessandro's locker, the cleanest locker on Earth is receiving this award because he has labels on his locker, everything is in class order, and he has his homework in one spot.

Strangely enough, many of our desks have broken latches. Frequently, the desks open farther than they’re supposed to. Earlier this year, someone’s desk was lifted and it hit me in the head. From that moment on, he had to warn me whenever he was about to open the broken desk. Unquestionably, around 55% of the 5th graders have this problem. About 44% of the other students have the opposite problem, the desk won’t open far enough and won’t close. Sometimes you hear the desks creek when students try to open their desks far enough so

I have spent about a half of a year at Northview High school. Going here was really frightening for me and I was really nervous about coming here. In this half of a year I have learned a lot and I am here to tell you some things you might need to know. One thing that you have probably heard is doing your homework. Yes, I know homework is boring but most of you grade is from homework assignments. Even if they are completion grades it still means something because missing a lot of homework can bring your grades down, and if you want to go to college you need good grades. Also, studying before tests can really help get a better grade and help you remember this information for you exams. Lastly, you should keep all of you notes that you take because

I teach in the automotive field and in my class we make them bring their own supplies like paper, pencil or pen and the text book. We give them one pair of safety glasses when they start the program and if they lose them they have to buy another pair. One of the advantages in them bringing their own supplies is they will keep up with them and have them the next class period. When I started teaching I had a cup on my desk with pens and pencils that students could use. What I started noticing was that I was finding pens and pencils everywhere in the room but back in the cup. So I put them all away and make sure the students bring their own. In my program, Ford ASSET, we don’t make the students bring their own tools to class but the general automotive classes do make them bring their own tools. My students have to have their own tools at the dealership during the co-op portion of the semester so we don’t have them bring them to class. There again, they don’t seem to take care of the tools like they would if it was their own tools. The tools don’t get put back where they got them from and a lot of times they don’t even get put back in the tool box, I find them left in the cars and at the work stations. I am still trying to keep up with a good solution because if they have to bring them to class everyday they will want to store them on the classroom, so then who is responsible for them if they get gone. So the advantage of students bringing their own supplies and tools is they will take better care of them and keep track of them. The disadvantage of the students brining their own tools is who is responsible for them if the students leave them between classes and where are you going to store eighteen tool boxes between classes.
