On the way to your car you see, your boyfriend (girlfriend) said that he wants you to take them to Starbucks to get some coffee. You took him (her) up on the offer. When you finish at Starbucks your drop them off at school then go to your school scan in and return with the other kids since you were at campus and signed in and out no harm was done.
For me I would handle this situation by first knowing my responsibilities as an intern. I have been given this responsibility and trust that I will go straight from school to my intern school and not stop for any reason unless necessary. I would tell my boyfriend that I am in a class and can't take him during this internship. i have a responsibilty in my class and to my mentor teacher to go to my class on time and get class time in to help my career in education!

10/18/2017 0 Comments Dyslexia.... 1. Dyslexia is a difficulty with reading . 2. Why is learning to read different than learning to talk? About every person starts to talk without having to be taught how to do it. By just being around people who were talking was enough to get you started talking. Reading is different because no one is born knowing how to read, you have to be taught. 3. What does your brain have to connect to allow you to read? When you read, your brain has to do a lot of things at once. It has to connect letters with sounds and put those sounds together in the right order. Then it has to help you put letters, words, and paragraphs together in ways that let you read them quickly and understand what they mean. It also has to connect words and sentences with other kinds of knowledge. When you see “c-a-t” on a piece of paper, your brain doesn’t just have to read the word “cat,” it also has to make the connection that “cat" means a furry, four-legged animal that meows. 4. What does it mean that dyslexia is an “invisible problem”? It’s not an illness like chicken pox or a cold. In school your teachers can see you working hard, but they can’t see all the steps your brain has to take to make sense of the words on the worksheet she gave you to do. 5. Is a dyslexia brain normal and healthy? YES or NO Many kids with dyslexia worry that there is something wrong with their brain. That’s a pretty scary thought. Thanks to recent research, though, we have lots of scientific proof that a dyslexic person’s brain is normal and healthy, so YES! 6. A dyslexic brain takes longer to do what? When you have dyslexia, your brain takes longer to make some of the connections like that let you read words quickly and understand what they mean. It also has to connect words and sentences with other kinds of knowledge. and does it in more steps. It especially has trouble matching the letters you see on the page with the sounds those letters and combinations of letters make. And when you have trouble with that step, it makes all the other steps harder. 7. Is dyslexia rare? YES or NO
NO, dyslexia isn’t rare. You might know other kids in your school who have dyslexia, too. Although dyslexia isn’t contagious, sometimes several people in the same family have dyslexia. Older kids and adults can also have dyslexia. 8. Do you outgrow dyslexia as you get older? YES or NO NO 9. Why is it good to find out you are dyslexic at a young age? It’s actually lucky that you’ve already found out you have dyslexia. The younger you are when you figure out that reading is tough for you, the sooner you—with the help of your teachers and parent—can find ways to learn that make it easier. 10. What are three tricks/skills that people with dyslexia use to help them read? Kids with dyslexia often learn to use other skills to help them make sense of what they’re reading or studying. You might already be especially good at: Observing—looking for clues in pictures or other kinds of illustrations Listening—paying attention to what your teacher is saying or what other kids are reading out loud Memorizing—remembering what you hear as someone reads or talks to you 10/6/2017 0 Comments My first day in the second year!For me this second year in Ready, Set, Teach I was SUPER excited to learn more about teaching and more about the ins and outs of teaching and running a classroom in 1st grade. Last year I attended RST during 5th and 6th period from 12:50-1:20pm during 1st grade's math time. This year we changed RST to 2nd and 3rd period from 8:40-10:00am during Reading and Writing time so it was completely new and different for me. I now get to experience the other parts of academics for 1st grade and I get to help read and write with the students. I have been able to lead individual reading groups and help watch the stations and make sure all students are where they are supposed to be and need to be! I am very excited to begin this knew year and build that teacher-student relationship with my new students.
