Make It Happen in 2012!

Procrastination Tips

1.   Procrastination gets the best of us. In 2012 I would like to not procrastinate so much. In order to change this I am going to have to stay on top of things, which includes checking my blogs every week and turning in assignments when they are do. I hope the outcome of this will help me pass my classes with better grades and raise my gpa.

2.   Coming to class on time and being late could hurt anyone while trying to have good grades. I would like to use my time better in school. In order to change not being late to classes everyday I will have to leave striaght form one class when the bell rings and go to another. The outcome of me not being late to class alot will also help me bring my grades up because I wont miss any of class to go get a tardy pass.

3.   Talking back is a bad thing any teenager has. I would like use my words whisley with my teachers. It would be easy to change this if I would do my work on time and not have to get mad when I have zero's.  I will get my work in on time and not procrastinate. The outcome of this will help me have a better relationship with my teachers and have better grades. I will get farther in life not being so rude.

Grinch or Santa?

Not being able to give holiday greetings during school is going against our freedom of speech and religion. If a student can not participate in the activities the classroom is doing there should be an alternate assignment and an alternate classroom for them to go to. Students not being able to give and receive presents from one another could be the only thing they would get for christmas. Some children never experience the holiday season and the most experience they would get is what they would get when they are at school. How are we suppose to teach our the next generation to be more appreciative of things when we cant teach them in school?

The Ideal Classroom

    My ideal classroom would be to have the new 21st century learning styles. I will use technology with almost every lesson I teach, and I would like to use the couches and round tables instead of the desks. I want my students to be able to go to each other instead of always having to ask me. I want them to be able to look up things on the internet and research on their own starting in early childhood education.

American Teacher

• After watching the movie, what was your first impression?  How did your view of the profession change;  better, different or worse?  Explain.
• After watching the movie my first impression was if this movie doesn't officially make up your mind about if you want to be a teacher or not then I do not know what else would. My profession changed for the better. I am willing to put in all my time and effort to the kids I want to make a difference in the world.

Procrastination

• Poor Time Management. Procrastination means not managing time wisely. You may be uncertain of your priorities, goals and objectives. You may also be overwhelmed with the task. As a result, you keep putting off your academic assignments for a later date, or spending a great deal of time with your friends and social activities, or worrying about your upcoming examination, class project and papers rather than completing them.
• I have very poor time management sills. I usually just don't want to take time out of my extra circular activities and hanging out with my friends before my academic classes. I would rather hang out with my friends then to stay home and do home work. I just cant get started once I get started I can finish anything. I usually wait till the last day to even try and get started.
• Discipline yourself to use time wisely: Set priorities.
• I need to discipline myself more. I need to stay home at least two times a week, take time out of hanging out with my friends and extra circular activities.

My first week as a teacher

My site school is Spicer Elementary. My mentor teacher is Mrs.Linda Ristow of 2nd grade and I am there for daily 5. Daily 5 is when they have 15 minutes to read, write and then whatever other choice they would like to do involving technology. I felt very welcomed at my site school. My mentor teacher Mrs. Ristow was very welcoming and let me introduce my self and let me take charge in the class room. I am looking forward to getting to know my kids and being in the class room. I love going on field trips with them and being able to be in charge.
