The pupils in the second grade classroom that I observed were very perceptive. They are very attentive to the teacher and her movement around the classroom. Students remain seated in their chairs‚ except for one specific boy who frequently stood up and walk to the teacher or another student’s desk and the teacher would correct him about remaining in his seat or raising his hand. Also‚ the students respond very well to the activities. For example‚ a student is chosen to lead the morning activities

Throughout history man is said to be essential. Meanwhile woman is described as
