When I was in the fourth grade I began struggling on focusing on my homework and classwork. It was a hard time for me because I had been great at school. My teacher who had decided she was a doctor called my mom and told her I was special needs and that I needed to to not be in her class, all because I wouldn't focus on reading a book. My mom didn't want to give up on me and was going to help me succeed. What that teacher said prompted many doctors appointments and tests and speech therapies. That

On October 27, 2014, I had braces on my two front teeth. They needed to be straightened up. A week later, my music teacher brought all my classmates to the band room when I was 5th grade. I was excited as a firework blasting of to space. When we went there, the whole class tried to visualize what will be in the gigantic room. Once the music teacher opened the door the whole class looked inside the room. The director of the band was Mr.Lindwell. When he welcomed us to the room my gun powder and

How Important is technology with fourth grade students? For starters, it has the ability to build relationships between teachers and students. If the relationship is not good, then it could mean that it will be a long school year and that is not fair to the teacher or student. Because of technology, it helps everyone stay on the same page and be on the right track. When technology is integrating into courses such as subject areas, it can then allow our teachers to turn into advisors for the students

In the state of California when students are in the fourth grade they learn about the history of California. The California Fourth Grade Social Studies Content Standards indicates that students learn about 4.2.3 Describe the Spanish exploration and colonization of California, including the relationships among soldiers, missionaries, and Indians, 4.2.4 Describe the mapping of, geographic basis of, and economic factors in the placement and function of the Spanish missions; and understand how the mission

the privilege of observing two sessions, 4th and 5th grade. The gym space they used was smaller than half the gym in the Wells Fargo Sports Complex, and when filled with about 30 kids seemed even smaller. Fifth grade came in first, and since they had already participated in two form and technique sessions already that week, this third and final day meant they could put those skills into practice with a game of “End Line Soccer.” Fourth grade was the second class I observed, and that day was their

teach these concepts so that students are able to understand and recall the material. This problem becomes most apparent in fourth grade when the focus changes from addition and subtraction to multiplication and division. If a student is unable to recall basic multiplication number combinations (math facts), then they will struggle to master a majority of the fourth grade mathematics curriculum. Mastery of math facts is essential to the understanding of many math concepts. When a student does

4th Grade: The parking lot was plowed. The banks were about 20 feet high, the perfect height for a bunch of fourth grade boys to rough house and perform a few of our favorite WWE moves on our fellow classmates. So that is what we did. It was afternoon recess. About half of us were in Mrs. Belanger’s and the other half was in Mrs. Beacco’s class. Back then we only switched for 2 classes, math and social studies. Mrs. Belanger taught the math and Mrs. Beacco taught the social studies. After afternoon

around the world do this on a daily basis just to get people to like them. This is how you get a fake friends because they think you're someone you're not. I once wore a mask to change into someone I wasn't when I first moved to smithville in third grade. I was scared and I guess that's normal when people are scared they hide behind a mask so that they fit in instead of stand out. I made a lot of friends for that year but every year I would allow me to be myself around people at school. Eventually

In the play Into the Woods written by James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim, Little Red sings the song “I Know Things Now.” I chose the song “I Know Things Now” because I can relate to the lyrics. Most of the songs in Into the Woods have a theme to them and the song, “I Know Things Now,” definitely has a theme of maturity. Little Red does not listen to her mother when she does not stick to her path to her grandmother’s house. After she strays from the path, she ends up learning to listen to her mother

Abigail Anunda Wehner 8th period 2/2/2023 Should Students Be Paid for Good Grades? Paying students for grades has been a very debatable topic for the past decade; with students having the ability to earn hundreds of dollars. Students could earn over $100 every two weeks. As a seventh grader, up to $500 a year or more; and as a fourth grader, $250. In addition, many parents and teachers struggle over the prospect of giving their kids such a huge sum of money. Some parents and teachers

teachers apply different weights to each of these categories (Guskey, 2002a) that then are combined in idiosyncratic ways (see McMillan, 2001; McMillan, Myran, & Workman, 2002). The result is a "hodgepodge grade" that is just as confounded and impossible to interpret as a "physical condition" grade that combined height, weight, diet, and exercise would be (Brookhart & Nitko, 2008; Cross & Frary,

Peanut butter and jelly, hot chocolate and winter, fireworks and the Fourth of July. Grades and learning are also placed hand in hand because they go together right? Learning is to acquire knowledge or skill; grades are a letter or number reflecting the quality of a student's work in a course, test, or project. Over time, teachers and students have become trained to focus more on the grade, rather than learning the concepts being taught. This is a big issue because if the concepts are not learned

classes from applying their own dialect in a formal setting, even if the dialect does not cause misunderstanding. If the intention to prevent the use of this dialect is ignored, the first and second essay would be matched in grading value with the fourth, at least in the category of writing quality. Similarly, grading based on the content of the essays shows a clear bias to a certain style of writing. The prompt states, “How I Learned a Lesson,” but does not appear to ask: what the lesson is, why

This goal is important because it makes you a better student. I say this because currently I have A’s, B’s, and two C’s. I want to fix that problem by making them into a B at least. My two C’s are in English 9 and Honors Algebra. The grade for English is a 75. The grade for Honors Algebra is currently a 80. My goal is to get at least an 84 in English, and a 85 in honors algebra. Also this will improve all other scores like for instance GPA and IQ. I will achieve this goal by doing the following steps

an AP class, the struggle to keep a high grade, and the stress that comes with it all. In the first quarter, the grade I earned was an A. In actuality, the grade I should have received would have been a B, but you were kind enough to remove a few of the poorer grades. In the second quarter, I received a B, which I am not very proud of. I am very hard on myself and commonly chastise myself for a grade that another student would be satisfied with. The grade I believe I deserved for the first quarter

Athletics of all kinds have started to consume students and the educational system. Football, soccer, track, basketball, baseball, and many other sports are being introduced to students during high school, and this leads to the goals of academic system being placed on the back burner. Funding that could be used to improve learning situations is wasted, the safe environment promoted by many schools is put at risk, and a separation between the students and responsibility is created when sports becomes

College represents something different to everyone. The student will be accountable for attending class, navigating around campus, and obtaining help when needed. When young people leave home for the academic world, they embark on a new journey that includes independence, adventure, and uncovering their individuality. Most students are not prepared for the trials of academe and end up feeling overwhelmed. College life can be a hard adjustment. “Stress and related conditions are growing increasingly
