We began the day with some group exercises that helped each other to interact and get to know one another better. The focus was on identifying similarities and differences and proved thought provoking, whilst having to communicate within a new group. I enjoy meeting people so I found this a fun exercise.…
Our Lady of Guadalupe: In legend of Nuestra Se?ora de Guadalupe and in Catholicism we would say Virgin Mary. Our Lady Guadalupe is definitely a part of Raza race history. The Virgin of Guadalupe is literally intertwined with both the History of the Catholic Church in the new world and of Mexico itself. To mention a few events, the great floods of 1629 claimed 30,000 lives and threatened the destruction of the valley of Mexico, until the waters abated when the image was taken in solemn procession from Tepayac to Mexico City.

Encourage students to be as innovative as possible in completing this activity; some of the seemingly silliest ideas have become multimillion-dollar ventures. If you want them to develop their ideas even more, you may want to assign Step 1 as group homework and then discuss their progress as a class the next time you meet.…
We played adding and subtracting games with blocks to improve math skills, wrote stories about different topics to improve reading and writing skills, built volcanoes to improve science skills, and arts and crafts. I came up with each activity on my own to accomplish the goal of creating a fun, yet educational learning environment for the students. At the end of the day other counselors and myself brought the students together for enrichment, a time for the children to let loose and be themselves. That was a time for the kids to dance, play sports, or just sit around and nap that was their time to rule the building. Outside of the site the students went on field trips that allowed them to be kids. The most memorable trip that was taking was our tip to Old Mississippi State Capitol where we learned about the history of our…
Tell and Show why the topic is relevant to your audience: (AI) I will ask the classroom for a show of hands of who currently owns a home (my guess and hope is that those that already own are a small % of the class). I will then ask who knows the avg. age of generation Y FTH in the U.S. (take guesses, give correct age if not guessed, which is 26). I will then ask if home ownership was easy and affordable how many of you would like to own your first home by the time you are 26 or sooner!…
Parents can help their children by talking to them, building a strong bond at a very young age, and having their kids keep a wide network of loved ones or friends throughout the child’s life.…
At the beginning of the class, we were assigned to groups. The project leader from the class was Michael. In my assigned group there were three students: Julie, Christina and myself. We chose blood pressure and blood glucose for our topic. Christina was chosen to be the group leader. Julie and I were considered the “listeners” of the group, meaning we would complete whatever task Christina assigned us. I think this worked out well because I believe that I work better when I have someone telling me what I need to complete. We all gathered information regarding blood pressure and blood glucose and emailed it to Christina. She then used that information to make a poster board on our topics. She also went online and found handouts about blood glucose from a trusted and credible medical website (I believe it was the CDC website, but I am not completely sure).…
Bread Givers, written by Anzia Yezierska, is a story that took place on the Lower East Side of New York City during the 1920s. The story describes the struggles Sara Smolinsky, a Jewish immigrant, faces through out her life such as poverty, discrimination, oppressing patriarchal values, finding her identity while still being unaccepted by her father.…
On April 11th, I went to Lafayette Recreation Center to teach 4th and 5th graders about the Lemonade Day. However, the beginning of our trip was not that satisfying. For some reasons, our bus was not prepared that our team had to wait almost an hour in the sun to figure out what we can do. Some students from our team decided to take a cab to arrive on time to keep our promise with children and the others had to go by deans’ cars. Because we were in a car, a small place, we not only discussed about the Lemonade Day but also was able to get to know each other deeply. Luckily, our team was able to Lafayette Recreation Center on time safely. As planned, our team was divided into four different small groups to teach children effectively. Four small groups rotated to teach different children with different materials. After teach children successfully, we were able to get back to school on a bus. In the bus, we discussed about what we liked or disliked about teaching children and how it differed from what we imagined.…

Dave group, which was the group I went with, focused on letter reading; while Mrs. Sobia group focused on math. Following the group activities, Mr. Dave and I played with the kids, while Mrs. Sobia took her lunch break. Once she came back, Mr. Dave went on his lunch break and the kids had their snack. I sat with two little boys Mathew aka Matty and Dan, who shared their snacks with me, as we talked about their favorite colors, and toys as well as super heroes. Which was one of the cutest things ever.…
