Ally's Greatest Strength In The Classroom

Seven Roswell sophomores were selected to be on the Varsity girls soccer squad this year. This is an impressive accomplishment, because the team is typically dominated by upper-classmen. These students are Bella Akin (left back), Elise Baron (midfield), Meghan Connelly (winger/striker/right or left midfielder), Sienna Kent (winger/striker/right or left midfielder), Hayden Hammerman (center back), Anne Lescher (right back), and Kristin Liquori (goalie). At tryouts, the coach saw great potential in these players, especially in their ability to communicate and work together.

Alex Morgan was drawn immediately to soccer at a very young age. Alex was born on July 2, 1989 in San Dimas, California. She grew up with parents who supported her in different ways. Alex Morgan’s mother is Pamela S. Morgan, her father is Michael T. Morgan, and her two older sisters are Jeni and Jeri. As a young girl the family moved to Diamond Bar, California (thefamouspeople.com). Morgan’s parents had supported her throughout her entire career. Alex Morgan’s father was her coach as a youth. Although Morgan’s mother didn’t coach her in soccer she found many ways to support her talented daughter. Alex’s mother and father are very different people. Alex’s mother would say, “Honey, if you lose, it’s ok,” but on the other hand Alex’s father would say, “You’ve got to be the best, no one remembers number two.” Alex Morgan said, “I feel really lucky to

Jade started playing soccer 4 years ago, when she was 9 years old. I would consider her to be one of the top scorers on her team. Each spring she tries out and is happy to find out she made the team. She has come a long way from when she first started, her foot work has improved she has great sportsmanship, and is always encouraging her team mates to do their best.

The story of Caroline Curry deciding to play soccer is not an emotional one. “I thought I was fat and I should play a sport. Out of all the sports I thought soccer would be the most forgiving. ”Little did she know the impact it would have on her life.

Lloyd went on to star at Delran High School, where she was twice named the girls' High School Player of the Year. She lived right by the beach, and a few blocks away from her house was a park with tons of soccer fields. As early as she could walk, she had a ball at her feet. Luckily, Carli’s parents Pamela and Stephen supported her in everything she dreamt of. Also, her siblings Ashley and Stephen helped her train and were always there for Carli. Even with three children, Pamela and Stephen were able to support Carli’s career financially and transportation wise. Being on a travel soccer team limits your personal social time down to nothing. She played for the Medford Strikers club team as a teenager and helped them win back-to-back state cups. On weeknights Carli trains, and on weekends she’s at tournaments or having games. Over her teenage years, she switches from team to team trying to find a coach who can take her career to the next level. Remaining close to home playing for Rutgers University, Lloyd became the university's all-time leading scorer. Lloyd went to many tryouts and not all turned out the way she wanted. She was told that she wasn't good enough by multiple coaches and that just made her drive and dedication even stronger. Carli isn't the type of person to give up and she was going to show these coaches that they made a mistake, and that's exactly what she

That type of attitude has certainly worked with her teammates as they look up to her as a role model and as someone who will push each player in the team in being the best they can be.

Math teacher reports that Aaliyah's current grade is a 1. The math teacher reports that Aaliyah's overall effort and contribution to her learning in class is very good. She notes that Aaliyah has enjoyed learning about decimals. Some of her strengths in math are that she can add, multiply, subtract and divide with good results, and that she is a good reader (when it comes to reading story math problems). Some of her weaknesses in class are that she struggles with more complex operations like multi-digit multiplication and long division.

The United States Women’s Soccer Team is an amazing group of superior female athletes who strive to do their best. They’re a team who plays with heart, team who scores, team who wins. They are known for the goals and known for the passes and known for the teamwork. The team is always working and practicing and striving to do their very best. The team is always challenging themselves, always pushing themselves, always advancing themselves. Hope Solo is a great goalie while Carli Lloyd always has show stopping shots. Julie Johnston is a dedicated defender and along with the rest of the team Alex Morgan is an all around amazing athlete. During practice and games they are always running and dribbling and kicking. The team’s newest nemesis is

Alejandra enjoys math. She has a positive attitude and works hard towards her objectives in all the learning segments. In session 2 (above informal checklist), Alejandra had been having difficulty organizing the information from the word problem into the diagram (as per her informal checklist from lesson objective 2 - above) but was willing to revisit her work with the teacher most of the times. Alejandra received frequent feedback on her work. She accepted feedback (verbal and written) positively from the teacher. She even implemented the feedback and made changes to her work when attempting a new word problem during independent practice. In addition, it was easy to redirect Alejandra with a verbal reminder “eyes up here” or gently tapping on her desk when she got distracted or was off-task during instructional time. Alejandra is a shy and quiet girl.

At the age of ten I was the most energetic, go-lucky, confident girl. I excelled at my beloved sport, soccer. I had been playing since I was just a mere five years old, far longer than the other girls. Playing so long had helped me be at a higher level of skill than most of the other players on my team.

She lacked the aggressive touch needed to become a footballer, the communication skills needed to direct a team from midfield, and the mind to think a step ahead of everyone. 12 months later, and the same girl is lifted up by her teammates after scoring 5 goals in a tournament final.

Subtraction, multiplication, addition, division, variable, exponents, and graphs, so many lessons, numbers, terms, and ideas swirling in my head. Mrs. Turner is currently my 8th grade math teacher. She gives homework, grades papers and gives test; like any other teacher, but somehow it is different. A lot people say math is boring and hard, but Mrs. Turner always adds something special to the class that just makes it a little brighter. This class is one of my favorites because it’s not always just a bunch of work in her class. For tests, we do review games, extra credit, and she even allows us to come during lunch and many other things. Slam! Swoosh! Clank! Most people would let a basketball game come to mind when they hear those sounds, but

She is a star at soccer. It is her whole life, that is what she went to college for. I tried being in soccer one time, I sucked. I still don’t understand how she doesn’t trip over the ball every five seconds.

A.D. and her father state that she finds math to be challenging. A.D. states that she is easily confused in math class when her teacher provides instructions without a verbal explanation. She reiterates that she finds math harder when her teacher does not provide oral directions. A.D. remains focused in math class, with her eyes on her teacher and/or on the board, as well as participates in class lectures by raising her hand when her teacher asks questions. A.D.’s father believes that his daughter performs well in math and enjoys the subject, but she is easily confused when it comes to completing her homework and what is expected of her to complete. A.D. states that she enjoys learning math and working through problems, but dislikes when she finds herself unaware of what to do, which in return leaves her struggling with new math concepts. In order to provide the best instructional methods to meet A.D.’s specific learning needs, the purpose of this Psychoeducational assessment is to gather information regarding how A.D. learns, specifically how A.D. learns mathematic concepts. The problem question is listed as follows: How does A.D. process information? Specifically, how does A.D. process information concerning math? This information is needed in order to determine the best methods to implement to improve A.D.’s performance in math.

Predating my college life, I held a strong desire to understand complex mathematical concepts. I would spend countless hours trying to get ahead of class, to satisfy my curiosity on what awaited me in future lessons. At home, I studied and did my homework by myself, as everyone was always busy. It was because of this, that my progress in learning was somewhat limited to grade-specific workbooks that my parents could buy and I could only self-study to such an extent. However, my father discovered a new way for me to excel.
