Progress: From the video, Cassandra is a first grader who attends a school in Boston.

It was learned from the video that Cassandra is a first-grade student who is academically reading wise exactly were a first grader reading should be at. The teacher Ms
When I started first grade My parents told me, “son when you step into that classroom I will promise you from now and forever that you will have the best school years with the best grades. When you come back home we will be so proud of you.” Part of me actually doubted myself that I would be those top star students that the teacher loved. During my elementary grades first through fifth back when I doubted myself with good grades that came true. I was never good at the English Language Arts though
opportunity to go to school due to the lack of money. When my parents had pass away I was put into an orphanage and was able to go to school. I was to old to be placed in kindergarten so they just put me in first grade. Had no clue what school was or what it would be like? First day of first grade was announced on the speaker of my orphanage. I was so scared to go because I didn 't know what it was like to be in a different building than the orphanage. School sounded so scary I hid in the laundry room
On my first day of school in Seventh Grade, I noticed that I was excited much more than usual; I knew that the first year in Upper School would be drastically different from the years in Lower School. I had been a student of The Kew-Forest School ever since I was in Kindergarten, which means I knew many things about the school and I certainly would not get lost. However, going into seventh grade I had anticipated more difficult assignments and an abundance of tests and quizzes. Yet, even with all
In my field experience first grade classroom I have two students who are brothers. Their names are “Bob” and “Billy.” They have been in the same class as one another all four years of their schooling thus far. They were in the same preschool, kindergarten, and now first grade classroom. The boys were always well behaved in their previous classrooms but when they got to first grade everything changed. The turn-up or turn-down card method is the behavior system used in the classroom. If the student
have passed since I was in first grade and I remember this teacher and if I recall correctly her name was Miss. Caroline, and she used to go on and on about me learning how to read with my father. You know you would she would be pleased or at least somewhat content that a first grader reads the way I used to, but on the contrary I guess she wasn’t. To be completely honest I was thinking of this the other day and today 15 years exactly on the same day of my first grade graduation I run into her (Miss
The First Grade Fiend First grade started off like any other school year, everyone was overjoyed to meet our new teacher. The first week of school Mrs.W was extraordinary, bringing us treats, and goodie bags. After the first month of school we all noticed a shift in her personality, she was controlling and didn’t seem to have any patience what so ever. On one specific occasion, my friend was talking a bit louder than the rest of us and Mrs.W didn’t seem to be pleased with that. She starred at my
(2005) defines classroom management as “all of the things that a teacher does to organize students, space, time and materials so that student learning can take place” (p. 84). This classroom management plan was created to address the needs of a first grade, general education, inclusion class. The majority of the students have attended kindergarten at the same school, so they are familiar with the school grounds and know their fellow classmates. Classrooms today are the most diverse they have ever
third grade years. My life has had its ups and downs but as you can tell I survived. These words on this paper are hopefully going to entertain you, but I understand if they don’t. Let’s see where should I begin? How about the beginning of kindergarten? My first day of school was probably the most horrifying day of my entire life. After my mom and grandma took hundreds of pictures I walked up to the bus stop where my friend Taylor Scott would be waiting. Taylor was on her way to first grade with

the quarter. This carried on until I was in fifth grade. Once I got to fifth grade on the first day of school my teacher introduced the book Coraline to our class. It was her favorite book to read to fifth graders. Everyday she read a chapter to the class. I loved this time because I hadn 't had a teacher read out loud to the class since first grade. I remember the book being very interesting and a little weird. When it reached
Narrative Writing: 2G By: Caleb O’Connell When the last day of 1st grade came in May I was so excited with anticipation for 2nd grade because I knew that I wasn't going to be the only one there. All of my 1st-grade friends would come along with me to 2nd grade. I was just so excited for 2nd grade to come in the Fall. When I went to Back to School night to put my supplies in my desk. At first, I didn’t even notice my teacher in the classroom but on the way out she greeted us while we were leaving
Do you remember your first grade year? Not many people do, but i’m gonna tell you a story about my whole first grade life. It was the summer before I went into first grade. My mom had told me and my brother that we are moving. We didn’t know where though. The day we were moving we found out we moved to a different town call New Bloomfield. I wasn’t very fond of it. It was a new school. I didn’t have any friends. Mom told us the only reason we moved there was because she got a better job offer and
First grade year is a very important year in many children's lives. It is a year full of new experiences and adventures for us to learn and grow by maturing into children instead of toddlers. My first grade year will forever be an important year in my mind and heart because during this year I truly learned how much family, especially parents, impact my life. As I was walking into a new classroom my first grade year, I could feel my heart pounding as I opened the door to a room full of new faces
Elementary School, 1st and 2nd Grade Teacher August 2005- Present Oviedo, FL • Created and implemented a blended learning curriculum The quote, “The best teachers show you where to look but don’t tell you what to see” by Alexandra K. Trenfor, is the perfect embodiment of my first grade teacher, Miss Letemacki. She ignited my love of learning at a very young age in a way that no one else has ever done. Twenty years later, as I sat in my daughter’s first grade classroom, in front of
The Issue of grade inflation Introduction This essay deals with the specific term of grade inflation by working with three texts on that issue seeing grade inflation from different perspectives and discussing terminology. Every country has its own grading system. In some countries from 0-10 in others the scale is 1-5 or 0-20 an there are many others. However, this is by far not the only thing that can be said about grading. The question also is the practical application of the grading scheme. Are
of our most successful students to work only for the grade. The grade being high, of course, but the amount of information we retain very low. When the grades our taken away, so is the validation of the good student. Most students are high GPA achieving students, not because they are smart, but because they know how to play the game of school. When it comes down to it, we work to score the highest grade we can, not learn. Short everyday grades do not help us to retain and keep the information we
“A wise person should have money in their head, but not their heart.” These words by Jonathan Swift sum up just why being too quick to give our direct rewards for grades harms youth and their mentality, despite any short-term benefits. If parents and schools want motivated, positive students who succeed later in life, paying for grades is out of the question. The practice encourages students to have a poor mindset for education. Its benefits are limited to short-term study and memorization. And lastly
order to learn. The topic of the grading system has sparked three essays, by three different authors, about the pros and cons of the grading system. First, Jerry Farber, professor at University of California at San Diego, wrote A Young Person’s Guide to the Grading System (333). Next is Steven Vogel, professor at Denison University, who wrote Grades and Money (337). The last two authors in this compilation are Stephen Goode and Timothy W. Maier. They both are journalists for Insight on the News.
Eliminate Letter Grades Have you ever gotten a “bad” grade in a class, but did the best you could? This is a very common scenario that most children encounter. More than half of a student body have been pressured by teacher or guardians to increase their grade in certain classes. Except, in the end students lose interest in school and learning all together. All of this is a chain reaction due to student's work ethic being labeled with a letter grade. Schools should eliminate letter grades because it’s
