I will start with the one of the main teachers and that is Hector.

She added a new group to the book club. This group was just reading science passages before because Ms. J needed to find an interesting book on level for this group. The students made a paper booklet for their books and wrote the questions that were posted on the board and their answers for that book on a different page. So the first real page in the book would be the questions for chapter one the next page would be where the students recorded the questions and answers for chapter two, and so on. The new book added was named Summer of Riley. This novel follows the story of an eleven year old who has a dog named Riley that they are trying to save from being put to sleep by the law enforcement for chasing livestock. This raises a lot of interesting questions for the students including how to lawfully go about protesting a law, which is quite interesting to hear their conversations about it because they would never be in the position of William but they apply the story to their lives, which was fascinating. Ms. J really fosters the love of reading in her class, which I have really loved to
The story I chose to read and discuss Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! written by Laura Amy Schlitz and illustrated by Robert Byrd. I chose the questions that involve how this book can be incorporated into the classroom curriculum. It is important to have historical fiction, and accurate historical fiction for that matter, in the classroom. Children need to understand and learn about history and with books like Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! It makes it more fun and easier for them to learn about it. This book alone can be incorporated into classroom curriculum by talking about the medieval time period. You can use it for the Language portion they can break the meanings of words or phrases using the contexts clues and analyze meaningful word. The Reading

Today was my first day with my coop since she was out sick last week, and meeting her students, I began my day observing. The current chapter that the students are starting is part of the SLOW program; therefore the students need to take a pre-test before they begin learning the chapter. This test will be graded but will not count toward the students' grade in the class. Once the students take the post-test, Mrs. Falchek will compare the pre-test grades and the post-test grades. This information will be use to help her evaluate her lesson and make the necessary modifications.
This shows that Helen knows she is responsible for the war and is the cause of many sufferings. She blames
There is also repeated evidence of social disparities in the prevalence of obesity and overweight. Links have been made why disparities exist in the prevalence of obesity especially among disadvantaged ethnic minority groups. Henderson and Kelly (2005), suggest that these disparities exist because of inequalities in the society they argue that people with more knowledge, money, power, prestige and beneficial social connections are better able to control weight gain, either through the ability to make food choices or through greater opportunities for exercise and safe play. This view is supported by Sniderman et al., (2007), who found no disparities in prevalence of obesity among ethnic groups when he factored in adjustments of socio economic
Jennifer asked the exploratory questions as review from the previous session; they were asked to refresh the student’s memory about the story. As for the guided questions, they were asked in order for the student to be able to form clear and concise topic sentences.
Teaching is not merely about methods used and material presented in the classroom, but about shaping students’ lives to help them construct a firm foundation for a successful future. I desire to teach my students basic life skills as well as challenge them to set and reach their highest goals.
I see students as the next generations’ heroes in so many fields. In my vision, I have to inspire students and prepare them with confidence, knowledge, experience and skills. Which means I encourage, communicate, guide, teach, and assess students in order to enrich their infrastructures.
