Imagine being called on by your elementary school teacher to stand and read out loud in front of the whole class. As you prepare to stand an uncontrollable flash of heat rushes throughout your entire body. Your heart beats hysterically‚ as the feeling of butterfly’s flitter violently inside your burning stomach.

Upon my observation at Tice Elementary I noticed that the physical and social environment that was given in the classroom was one that prevented cultural deficit and cultural mismatch.

Samantha Meyer Lesson Plan 9/Reflection #9 SCIE 376 This week at Essex Elementary school I taught a review lesson to my students.
