What icebreaker worked well? Why?
The icebreaker that I thought worked very well was the inside outside circle where the whole class made two circles one on the outside and one on the inside and we had to rotate and get to know someone new each time by answering different questions asked by one of the tutors. I thought this game worked very well because the questions that were asked were very interesting and it got many students to get into conversations and not get boring because they were open ended questions.

What icebreaker did not work so well, or not as expected? Why?
The one icebreaker that I thought did not work so well was the three things in common game, although it was a really good concept I think the

It was a great moment learning something interesting about one another and our likes and dislikes.

What did you struggle with, and what did you learn about yourself?
The thing that I struggled with was trying to talk to the grade nine’s and finding the right things to say so that they would be more comfortable opening up to me. What I learned about myself was that I am very open minded and like to hear about other people’s interests.

What did you not expect from the students?
I did not expect them to be as involved. I thought the students would be more shy and would not want to participate, but everyone seemed to open up and participate in every game that we had prepared for them.

What student interested you the most? Why?
The student that interested me the most was a student named Justin I believe. He was tiny and wore a big blue shirt I think. He interested me the most because he seemed kind of quiet and shy and I would really like to get to know him better and get him to open up and talking to other individuals.

Questions, concerns, things you’re at a loss about?
The one question that I have is, is there anything we can do to make the shy students more

    My personal learning style is doing. I learn best from the hands on approach of getting in to a topic or job and attempting to complete it on my own. This allows me to see my mistakes and not have them be prevented before they happen, which allows me to note the problem and fix it. I find it much harder to learn using concrete experience and reflective observation. The fact that both these styles are much harder for me to learn from effects my overall learning style because of how I learn, just watching someone else complete a task is not enough for me to learn by.…

    In fourth grade, I was given a homework assignment of the worst nature my nine-year-old brain could envision: an essay. My entire class erupted with sighs and groans as my teacher explained the assignment: interview someone you know and write a biography. I was stumped; I didn't think anyone in my family was interesting. I didn’t have an uncle that was a firefighter or cousin that was an astronaut. I had absolutely no idea who to write about. At dinner that night, my parents suggested I interview my grandfather. With no alternatives in mind, I unenthusiastically accepted their suggestion. The following Friday night, my parents drove me to my grandparents’ house with a pencil and a notebook, and I sat down with my grandfather as he told me the story of how he came to America.…

    On Thursday, September 15 at Cohasset Elementary school in Van Nuys, I worked at my practicum site for the first time in a Head Start class of three and four year olds. My goal for this first class was to become familiar with the children and the classroom routine. One of the first things I noticed was that all the children and the teachers are Hispanic and speak Spanish, although the class is mostly taught in English. I experienced a diversity issue between myself and the staff and children in the classroom. The main barrier I faced was the language. Some of the children spoke only English in class, others spoke a mixture of English and Spanish, and some spoke only in Spanish. Speaking some Spanish helped me, but the children spoke so softly…

    My education will never be complete. This knowledge affords me the ability to grow each and every day. It teaches me to question the world and to learn from these questions. I learn through different lenses and circumstances I experience each day. At seventeen, I am nowhere near complete. I am young. I am flawed. I am naïve. What I have learned has led me down different paths in order to achieve different milestones on my own journey. I am strong. I am creative. I am poised...but most importantly I am learning. My education has allowed me to learn about myself, about others, and about the world. I am evolving through the educational process and through the effort of acquiring knowledge. I have no idea what I will learn tomorrow --some days…
