Hey guys welcome back to another week of my blog. I hope yall enjoyed the first one I posted. Theres is so such to tell you guys about these pass two week and i cant wait till yall read it.  Well here it is and i hope yall enjoy it and yall feel like yall are being a cadet with me.

READ- ALOUDS:
    As always we start off with read- aloud, so the first book was Kitten's first full moon by: Kevin Henker.  This was about a kitten who saw the moon's reflection and thought it was a bowl of milk.  So lesson ideas for this book would be an art class about shapes because the moon can very from small to big.  It also start a discussion about never giving up because the kitten kelt trying and trying to reach the moon thinking that it was a bowl of milk.  This book can also teach student how to give directions.  Aonther book we read it week was I knew you could by: Craig Dorfman.  This was about a little train that was finding him self in the world so he had to stay on the right track and never giving up.  An activte with this story could be a writting assignment on "what your scared of" be the little train was always scare that he would fall off the tracks.  Another idea would be a lessons on different transpertations.  The third book we read this week was Mr. Tall and Mr. Small by: Barbara Brenner.  Activies with this book would be learning about opposites and working together with diferences.  You aslo can use this book in a english class with rhyming.  Two more books we read this week was Big Black bear by: Wong Herbert Yee and The kissing handy by: Audrey Penn.  Some ideas for these books would be a class for learning manners.  An activite the students could do is create a sentence with sign language.  And for the book the kissing hand there could be a discussion about overcoming fears when your away from home. 

LEARNING EXPERIENCES:
    This week we learned about self- esteem and the different types of self- esteem.  We learned that self-conpect can move in a horizonal direction.  We can add or take away from it.  We also learned that theres a difference betwwen earned self- esteem and global self- esteem.  Earned self-esteem is when you have to work for it and accomplish it as an indiviual but when its a global self-esteem everyone get credit for being apart of the group.  This week we also wrote an essay on our own accomplish we done from present to past.

CURRENT EVENT:
    A current event that is happening as the upcoming back-to- school year comes is "Why Grit is More Important Than Good Grades"  In the article it discusses that building a childs character may be more important then their I.Q and SAT scores.  A reacher say that "a temporary failure can be very scary, to students and parents alike.  But experiencing failure and adversity, is a critical part of building character."  If you would like to read more here a link you can click on: http://ideas.time.com/2012/09/05/why-grit-is-more-important-than-grades/?iid=op-main-mostpop1

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
    “In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn.”- Phil Collins i choose this quote  because when i read it, i agree with it alot.  Because everything you are learning something soon you will teach it to someone else.  And while teaching it you can learning something more that can benefit you and others over oneself. 

OBSERVATIONS:
    In the pass two weeks i have observated a lot about respect.  I say this because you have to give respect before you can receive it.  In dazzlers respect comes a  long way because their is your coach you have to respect as will as your teammates.  In a younger crowd of people you have to teach them the meaning of respect because no one was born knowing what it mean but instead they were always taught what it means. 

REFLECTIONS:
    In the weeks pasted i've learned a lot about myself when it comes to earned self- esteem.  Because as i took a look at my past i realize how many accomplish i made from not giving up and trying my hardest.  I also learned that it takes more than being apart of something to get credit that means something to you.
