Second grade

The teachers I observed at the lower grade levels of first and second grade used Core Curriculum. These teachers followed specific guidelines in their teacher’s guide books to help them schedule activities and lessons for the week. They are provided with work books and materials but get to decide on how to execute those plans. The teacher who taught the upper grade levels of high school had their whole year planned out. I observed Math and Social Science. Both had teachers who were planned out…

Elementary School through Junior high Second Grade In the Second grade, I had a teacher named Miss Ghetto. Her room had a huge shelf full of Potato Heads. She was probably the funniest teacher I ever had, she always had the best and funniest costumes for Halloween. It was the first year that we started to do spelling tests that were more than 5 words. If we received a hundred percent on the test we had a choice of making a sticker or making crayons by breaking different color crayons and then…

Schooloman Everyday the school Westville sits in silence. Its as clean as a window. Ms. Doremode’s 2nd grade classroom remains quiet as all the students work on their subtraction test. Then out of the blues comes a huge loud sound that you never would expect to hear. Lilly shouts “ What was that?” Ms. Doremode states “ I don’t know class, just get back to work, i'll go check it out.” The student sit there quietly and worried. Next, all of a sudden the principal Mr. Warring was on…

How My Life Changed in the 2nd Grade It is fair to say that we all have life changing moments and experiences. How we see those moments and what those moments are change our lives forever. My second grade year was a life changing year for me. What started out to be a really tough time in my life turned out to be a blessing because of my second grade teacher, Ms. Rosie Tubbs, who is still in my life today. My second grade year started out to be what I thought to be one of the worst years and…

elementary. For my internship, I am in a first-grade classroom, so I decided to observe a second-grade classroom as it would be a good opportunity to see how wide the gap of only one year would be with students. I also visited a gifted and talented third-grade classroom and a Special education resource class. From my day observing different classrooms I learned that techniques and strategies change to accommodate each individual child. In the second-grade classroom, I observed how the teacher…

always go as planned. As a member of NJHS, it was clear to me that it was my responsibility to maintain the 90 and above minimum grade requirement placed by NJHS membership. To me this minimum requirement was the least of my worries, but for some members it was more than a worry. On the first grade check, about 12 of our members were placed on probation due to low grades. Our NJHS advisers worked with those on probation while the rest of us worked on our fundraisers. We were working towards a…

“Oh my gosh! I hate this! I don 't want to do this!” The screaming thought that always came through my mind when my teachers told me to we had a writing assignment. I especially hated it when they would give it a back grade after hard work and stressing it. They all would tell me it had a good potential but that it was not up to their standards. I needed to work on grammar, my wording, and what not. I really hated it. I know it was to make me a better writer but I did not feel like it was…
