Whenever I plug my laptop into the telephone looking jack in the wall, my operating system says that I'm now operating at 10 megabits.

I observed for fifteen hours at Cherokee Charter Academy. Cherokee Charter Academy is a charter school in Cherokee County on Sixes Road. Cherokee Charter Academy includes kindergarten through eighth-grade classes. There are over nine hundred students and about sixty-five full-time teachers at Cherokee Charter Academy. Charter schools are similar to public schools and are tuition-free. Charter schools are governed independently, but if the school does not demonstrate success it will lose its charter. At Cherokee Charter Academy I observed the kindergarten classroom of Ms. Dunlap. Ms. Dunlap has been a kindergarten teacher for ten years. In this classroom, I observed the students, the instruction, standards, and the teacher.

Currently, I am student teaching at Alfred E. Zampella PS #27 School in the district of Jersey City. The school is located in a busy city, next to John F. Kennedy St. which is especially busy in the morning and during rush hour. This results in several late students on a day to day basis. On the other hand, this school is also highly accessible and as a little over a thousand students. The school has grade levels from kindergarten to 8th grade, and has a mix of general, special, and inclusion education classrooms. Typically, families that enroll their students into this school are of lower-middle socio-economic class, and tend to be majority Hispanic, Indian, and African American, with few Caucasians and Asians. This school provides a variety of special programs for their ESL students and special need students. Students may be offered speech language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, ESL programs, reading recovery, and counseling.
