Semester Exam

Students being absent seems to be one of the biggest issues that teachers have to deal with. Students being gone causes for them to get behind and that leads to them failing classes or having bad grade. Teachers can also help the students by being the class like home and getting to know the students. They can also help by always showing up to class with a smile on their face. 
We think that some students don't show up because they just don't want to but come to find out some don't come because they make bad grades and try to avoid, some kids get bullied and also some have a mental  health you don't know about yet. 

Teacher Created Material

Since I was unable to attend the competition this past weekend because I was taking my SAT. I am doing a teacher created material to make up for that that involves learning to stitch up wounded animals since am in Vet Med class for my internship.
Step 1: Clean the wound make sure the bleeding is stopped or to a minimum
Step 2: Start stitching, make a knot by the needle with the thread, go through the skin tie two knots than cut the thread and repeat until the wound is completely stitched up.

My First Week as an 2nd Year Intern

My first week in my site was amazing, I've already learned so much and am so lucky to be able to intern for a BCTAL Ag. class more specifically Veterinary Medical Applications with Mrs. Lopez. So far in the classroom I've already taught my first lesson over communication.

Rules are important in a classroom because it creates stability and respect for others. If they do not follow them it starts off with a warning, a note/phone call home, and if that doesn't work I will send them to the office.

My Plan Of Attack

Since I was unable to compete last year I am definitely going to this year ! i am going to try to do Scrapbook and also Exploring Non-Core Teaching Careers. 
For the Scrapbook I will be working with a team and I'm not really sure who all will be on the team. But for the Non Core teaching I will be myself preparing for Agriculture.

Summing up a great year!

Lately in class we have been reading "The Smartest Kids in The World" by Amanda Ripley. I was told to talk about who I most relate to in the book but honestly I don't think i relate to anyone in there. I understand that we should learn about different cutlers but this isn't that interesting specially being told that America is low on the list on education ranking because of our different lifestyles and how we don't spend every waking minute on education because we do have other priorities. Yes we have distractions but we also do have other things like supporting our family and yes kids here do have to work to help their families with bills and etc.

Philosophy of Education

 Many of people have asked me what I want to do when I get out of high school, and I say I would like to be a teacher and they often say well why? I want to be a teacher because I enjoy seeing students faces light up with joy when they grasp a subject also just helping people brings joy to me, it’s a great accomplishment to be a part of. Most teachers are organized, respectful, and passionate. I also feel the teachers main goal is to be there for his/her students, to make sure the student is taken care of but of course in a professional way. Something you have to think about as a teacher is that someone students will not learn just for the fun of it, they want something in return seeing as how getting a free education unlike some kids is not good enough for them.

This past weekend some of the students went to Houston University for a competition. They showed lessons that had made, scrap books, and speeches they wrote.
Some of the results follow:

 Impromptu Teaching - 4th overall and National Qualifier
Tiana Whitmore and Taylor M. King

Teacher Created Materials - Blue ribbon
Taylor Anderton

Teacher Created Materials - Red ribbon
Amber Day
Portfolio - Gold
KyAnna Carrillo

If I had a do-over for this year it would be not being able to be an officer or compete in competitons for TAFE. 

Creativity Counts

Creativity is something you can not define, it is different for every single person due to the fact that everyone is different. Creativity matters a lot in education because everyone learns differently and has something different they have to do to learn. I was told this story about how in the 1930's a girl could not sit still and the teacher called a meeting with the mom. Well the teacher turned on the radio and took the mom in the hall way and they watch the girl, she was moving to the music, she was a dancer. The teacher then told the mom to put her in dance class, the girl is now a millionaire and has her own dance studio. There are different types of learning styles. Schools have transition over the years, nowadays the students are more focused on what grade they make instead of actually learning the material. Some of that is the students problem because they don't focus like they should, but also the teachers fault because they have allowed the students to misbehave.
