When entering a profession, it is always important for the person to garner knowledge of the tasks that will be expected of them when they are in the field. For most people this means studying textbooks to gain an in-depth perspective of what practicing professionals believe is necessary information to help one succeed in their intended field. While this is a useful practice that should not be ignored, reading textbooks or training manuals does not give a person first hand experience with what to expect when they are out in the community to perform the job. An invaluable experience is when a person actually gets to witness the intrinsic parts of the occupation that a textbook might not cover. Recently, I had the opportunity to go out and observe an actual story-time for children at a local library. While observing the group, I had the opportunity to …show more content…
The session that I chose to attend took place on March 21st, 2018 at 10:15 am. The event was facilitated by the lead children’s librarian, Jackie Cassidy, and was called “Wiggles Story Time.” The attendance for the story time was on the smaller side. There were a total of seven people present: four of the attendees were children and they were split evenly between boys and girls; the rest of the attendees were the children’s caregivers, all of whom were women. According to Cassidy, the number of attendees for the group has the tendency to fluctuate greatly for the event in question. The library keeps a spreadsheet that shows the number of patrons for the recurring events and the children’s group had a range of zero to twenty-two within a month. Although they do not keep track of contributing factors, Cassidy says that attendance seems to be largely dependent on the weather; the days with zero participants happened on days when there had been snow, while the day of twenty-two occurred on a rare eighty-degree
In James’ first encounter with the Indians, they first start with war. With no communications they were turned against each other. With this scenario you can suggest cultures were scared of what might come from the different cultures heading their way. With new and different cultures, there are many things to discover. If you’re fascinated, you want it for yourself. This is when the trick of the trade comes in. Cultures took what they knew was priceless to them and traded for what they thought was valuable. In the end, it worked out because each culture learned from the new materials introduced into their lives. Rituals seemed strange. One culture can culture can represent something in one way, and another culture can represent the same thing

One important concept I noticed while reading this chapter is how influential a child’s development is to their response to reading. Many children read books that are common for their stage of cognitive development. For example, according to Jean Piaget, children in the sensorimotor stage are more inclined to read books that appeal to their senses. This is why children, ages birth to two, enjoy tactile, rhyming, and picture books. During this stage children learn how to properly hold a book and how to turn the pages. It is until much later that children have the ability to read and understand chapter books. This skill is usually obtained in the concrete operations stage. This concept is extremely important because an educator’s
In group 2 all the members shared some very good recounting and accounting stories. Just by reading them I can tell most of them were sentimental with a meaning behind them. In Kelly DaCruz recounting story she basically loved waking up on Saturday morning with her dad watching her favorite cartoon the Rugrats. Kelly’s accounting story her grandmother was a very special woman but with her not physically being here her mother carries the spirit of a gold heart just like her grandmother. In some cases, not all families celebrate holidays on their actually calendar day. Tracie Hester recounting story was very familiar; I know some people to celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas either a few days before or after. Tracie parents had busy schedule so they made sure on the day after Christmas they spent it together with no interruptions.
In Crime and Punishment Feodor Dostoevsky incorporates his views of religion. Throughout his life he had trouble reconciling the thought of loving God, while so much suffering occurred throughout the world. To reason with this doubt, Dostoevsky concluded that suffering was a way in which God would test his followers and see if they deserved to be allowed into heaven. This idea is incorporated within the novel as the characters have to suffer first and are later redeemed by returning to their faith. Dostoevsky uses the motif of crosses and imagery to explore the way suffering increases faith and allows for redemption.

My observation began at nine o clock in the morning and ended about fifty minutes later. The group started in a classroom with five children: four boys and one girl.

I firmly believe that my experiences working with children, as well as my experiences as a student, facilitated my growth, knowledge, and understanding of literacy throughout this course, as I found myself relating my own experiences to those presented in the required readings, chats, handouts, and assignments.
Today mom came alone to meet with her child at Burger King for dinner. The child was excited because she said that she loves their chicken fingers and french fries. After completing her meal mom had a coupon for desert so the child got what she said was another favorite, a chocolate sundae. Mom and child lounged in the comfortable chairs in Burger King’s restaurant and talked. The child has been on fall break so mom was asking her what things have she been doing to enjoy the time off. The child said she has been doing a lot of practice for their competition in November. She also told mom that she can almost do a back walkover. The child is very energetic today more so than normal. She stood up in the lounging chair at Burger
“Sir, we are losing control,” Sgt. Billis Nilily franticly stated to Cpt. Franklin DaRoosevelt. “Is there anything we can do to increase our chance of survival?” Cpt. DaRoosevelt questioned. “We could attempt to crash into the cushiony vegetation of the nearby planet, Earth,” suggested Lt. Robert Linkenstein. “If that’s our best chance, then let’s go for it,” Cpt. DaRoosevelt declared.
The title “ The Story We Tell” is significant because it demonstrates how only some of the stories in history are told and not everyone's. Most of the history being told or written in history books were from the people who had power during that time era, the victor, where the events occurred. In this film, I heard of multiple stories on Native Americans, African Americans and Mexicans who experienced poor treatment by the European settlers, which I never learned about. One of the biggest shock to me was learning about the past president Thomas Jefferson. The film did change the way I thought about some stories and also people.
