Christian’s cheerful, friendly smile, kind heart and playful spirit make him well liked by his classmates and teacher alike. As a student, Christian has proven himself to be hard working, aiming to do what is expected of him. As it is not always easy for Christian to understand and follow directions without support, he works best when an assignment is broken down into small steps and modeled for him. It has been a pleasure to see Christian become more responsible with his homework assignments, making a conscious effort to make sure he has all of his materials and completing assignments on time. As it takes time for Christian to get himself organized, he is strongly encouraged to use his transition time between classes wisely, as he has a tendency to get distracted by his friends in the hallway, which causes him to be late to class or be unprepared with his materials.
At times, he has demonstrated an understanding of some key concepts covered however, he is frequently distracted in class which effects the quality of his work. He has consistently submitted assignments late and with some sections not completed to the required standard. In order to improve his results, Seth

Lani: I was helping for someone’s project for COMM 245; I was in the video lab, in the studio. I was on campus and decided to contact everyone I knew who comes to the school. I remember I sent out a snap saying guys I think there is a shooting, be careful and then I started sending out individual texts to people making sure they were okay, like hey are you good? Stay out of an area.
Entering my junior year of high school, I felt compelled to start a Bible study at my school. I enlisted some of my friends, and we began building the foundation of, Alive. We were aware that we would face animosity from peers, but we wouldn’t let it stop us. Unfortunately, administration was worried that we would spark an uprising of groups who wanting the opposite of what we were about. The red tape of separation of church and state was brought to our attention, even though we were not doing anything wrong.
My body cried like a newborn babe, afraid in an unfamiliar place. Immediately, my fresh eyes were greeted by waves of black hair, friendly smiles, and the Japanese language. I had arrived in Japan. I did not know the language or the customs, but I dove right into the dark pool. I was determined not to let the unknown drown me.
It was dark in the room, and about fourteen guys I did not yet know and I were scattered around the room. I had just finished speaking, and all of a sudden, after not even a second of silence, someone stood up and said, “Can we all just take a moment and give Matthew a round of applause? He did not have to open up like that especially at his first event. Thank you.”
This week, Ms. Isgrigg and ourselves started talking about our lessons and interventions. We also talked about when we would be doing them, in preparation for us starting full time this Monday. I talked extensively with Ms. Isgrigg about my student and what she needs for reading. I don’t have a specific student for math, but my student foe reading also needs help in math. We also started discussing working on reading and math interventions for the fourth graders, whom I have worked a lot less with.
For me, the hard part was to actually know who I am. I could not find a word that could have describe me. Until I found the word anxious. The easy part was actually talking about the topic. I really wanted to show everyone the things I go through every day.
Every Moment Counts I hug her knowing that this will be our last. Tears are streaming uncontrollably down my cheeks, staining her shirt. I'm not ready to say goodbye. I don't understand why this is happening. Out all of the 7.28 billion people in the world, why did it have to be her?
On 13th of March, I went to kindergarten to complete my child observation task. Ms. Janelle is the person in charge of the kindergarten and she introduces Nic to me. Nic is a 5 years old kid and this year is his 2nd year in the kindergarten. As I went there after their classes, I were told to help Nic with his homework and on the same time complete my task. Nic is a very active child and able to speak fluently in English and Mandarin.
“I find it hard to talk about myself. I am always tripped up by the eternal “who am I?” paradox. Sure, no one knows as much pure data about me as me. But when I talk about myself, all sorts of other factors -values, standards, my own limitations as an observer- make me, the narrator, select and eliminate things about me.
During this time, they primarily worked on worksheets designed for the special education classroom as well as working on achieving their goals for accelerated reading. There were a few students who came in for an hour with work from their general education classroom and needed extra help completing their work. There were two students who had more severe disabilities, but they worked with paraprofessionals and did not do the same work as the rest of the class. One method of adjusting the work to meet the needs of the students that I noticed being used a lot in the classrooms I observed was cutting down the amount of work that they had to do. I
This year I tutored middle school students. I contributed by always managing to make it whenever I didn’t work and by helping students do their best. My goals last semester was for us to communicate better, we had trouble communicating with the teacher. As a group we didn’t really feel acquainted to her and it was hard for us to communicate.
