The Ideal Classroom

This week on Mrs. Steven's blog...

The Ideal Classroom. Now most people would think that the ideal classroom are desks everywhere in the classroom with books, some posters and other learning equipment needed for that age group. However, I believe that an ideal classroom for kindergarten would be having some home-like items in the classroom. There would be a playhouse, beanbags, and learning centers

Grinch or Santa?

This week on Mrs. Steven's blog
I personally think that having Christmas and other holidays in the classroom, is a great way to acknowledge other cultures of the student and faculty. The educators are always talking about how everyone should be learning or teaching about the other cultures in this society. Don't forget about religion either. The school board is always worried about trying to get Santa and the Easter Bunny to "disappear". In actuality Christianity has basically disappeared from the public school system. Christianity is a culture in itself.  This picture is a picture that shows most of the holidays.

American Teacher

This week in Mrs. Stevens' class... My view on the profession changed in a different way. I realized that teachers don't get the appreciation they deserve. The more I think about it, the biggest frustration of being a teacher is the fact that they have to buy their own supplies and always thinking of how they are going to get through the month on two small paychecks a month. Honestly I think that the teaching condition would ease up a little if the government offered to supply for at least some of the materials needed for teaching. Also teachers can teach some lessons from websites, including PBS, and Scholastic. My question is why does the a government not recognize the teachers for what they do when they are the foundation of the future for these kids?

Why do Students Procrastinate

This week on Mrs. Stevens blog...
     Most of the time, procrastination usually is the misusage of time or poor time management. In fact this points at myself. I Worry about my grades all of the time and I end up not finishing the assignment. The best way to overcome my procrastination is to set realistic goals then work hard to accomplish them. I could also make sure that I have a clean desk to study. When I need help, I can always look onto the study helper site.

If I could change education, I would make sure that everyone was getting everything out of school and actually want to go to school. Every person can have the opportunity to learn by media and activities. I will make sure that no one will go on unnoticed.
