Since the beginning of the trimester‚ I have been volunteering three days a week in a second grade classroom at Oak Trace Elementary School. I have enjoyed every minute of my time here because I feel so appreciated by everyone that I help. Every day I walk in‚ I am greeted by the women in the office‚ and then I am usually waved to by a student in the hall on the way to my classroom. Once I get to the classroom‚ I am greeted in the best possible way by the students. Most of them will run up and hug

Everyone strives to be accepted and loved. Acceptance is wanted at any age. From my high school friends to my elders who work a nine to five job‚ some still crave to be accepted by their peers. The world we live in is full of expectations that people are suppose to live up to. These expectations can bully people into changing themselves. I too changed myself to be accepted by my peers. In end I learned a valuable lesson. Changing yourself for others‚ so they will accept you‚ only leaves yourself

Lemaistre Period 3 Graduation Speech Four years ago we stepped into high school as individuals seeking to do well‚ to find our identity‚ to find our best friend.

I did my observation at Bullskin Township Elementary School on Mrs. Coles 2nd grade classroom. When I first entered the classroom‚ I felt very welcomed‚ she had all the students stand up and introduce themselves. It was a very colorful classroom covered with the children’s art work.

The goals of the children in the class room are to actively participate and understand the information taught

Missing so many days would force a kid to do a little extra homework or maybe get a little more one on one time with the teacher‚ but for the most part they would be able to make up those lost days.
