Learning Challenge: I wish my teacher knew....

This is the first time I have seen this story. I think it is a good way to connect with kids and really understand that not every kid is the same and you have to adapt as teacher to kids environments to connect with them and find out the best way for them to learn. Keeping this anonymous is key because a lot of these children would be embarrassed to tell others and now a days would probably get made fun of for it. I think this teacher had an amazing idea and I hope that teachers all across the country are using this method to help there students feel comfortable admitting something because I think that will help them with being able to swallow their pride and ask for help later in life. Its all about trust.

Reading Notes, English tales: Three Little Pigs

The three little pigs is one of the most famous tales I want to keep the beginning of the story the same " ill huff and ill puff and ill blow your house down" After the wolf gets to the third house I can change the story around the wolf gets tricked every time and I could change that around to where the wolf was doing so on purpose The wolf talks about different ways to get the last pig out. I could change the way he tries to get him out of the house. Maybe even spy on the pig to devise a plan. I don't want to take away from the original story but I feel like I could have some better ideas to make it more interesting. Joseph Jacobs, Three Little Pigs; Link to reading The Wolf

Growth Mindset: My job as a growth mindset place

I have a part time job at a store in Del City called Gregorys sporting goods. I sell team uniforms and various things to customers and have been doing so for about two and half years while I have been in college. I work part time along with school. There is a lot of talking to do and selling and I have used those skills to be successful at what I do. I have been searching for a career and finally found one upon graduation and going through interviews you have to sell yourself. I believe my job at gregorys has provided with mindset that I will succeed in my career. I loved to learn and grow and this part time job has lead me to learn patience and organization. I am going to be sad leaving but I am so excited to start my new career. Gregorys Logo
