The weather is hot
Feels like summer is still here
Class books not much fun
Writitng one Haiku was not enough. Haiku's can be made up of anything you want. It is fun to just write about anything and see what the reaction is from other people. It is fun to just make up something and have it mean a lot. This Haiku is about today, the weather is so nice and it feels like summer. Summer seems so long ago when all we do now is study and go to class. I can not wait for next summer!

On planet earth we have educational facilities called schools. The way they are structured are from grades one to six, which are known as elementary school, seven to eighth, which are known as middle school, and nine to twelve known as high school. The content knowledge of the student in known by their grade level. Students are required to know certain subject areas such as Math, Reading, and Science. As shown by the PEP, Math, reading, and Science scores have risen from 1990 to 2005 in elementary and middle school, yet in high school scores have declined from 1990 to 2005. This decline is due to low moral from students, lack of resources and educational funding. By improving this, it will show an improvement on scores in the upcoming years.
Most of our students come from a Caucasian background. There are about 53% whites, 5% Asians, 15% African Americans, 24% Latino, and 6% American Indian. Due to the surrounding areas that we live in we want a positive and successful education for our students. As successful educators we find ways to connect language, music, cultural background and lifestyle of different students to make them feel comfortable not as an outsider. Our main goal is to push our students and motivate them to succeed in what ever they choose to do in life.
Our teachers often begin at or about the age of 22 and having received a bachelor’s degree. Many continue to pursue their own education as well as working to educate their students. 47% of our teachers have achieved a master’s degree or doctorate, and 58% of our teachers have been working in the field of education for over ten years. The majority of our high school educators are trained specifically in there are of content, ranging from 79% of Mathematics instructors to 84% of Social Science instructors. Although the Federal “No Child Left Behind Act” does not require instructors to have a degree in their field of teaching, it does require them to, “demonstrates subject matter competence.” A constant flow of new ideas about teaching is coming into our education system through an average of 14-21% of full time teachers with less than 3 years experience. These instructors, though lacking in experience,, more than compensate with a passion for teaching and a wealth of newand exciting ideas!

A Fresh Start...
Hi everyone! This is my first time blogging. It is something new and exciting to learn! Starting at a new school can be scary. Nervous and anxiety takes over and you are unsure how to feel. The fear of not being liked and accepted are always something you face. Change is a good thing though. Change is always taking place everyday. The way a person reacts to a new surrounding shows character and growth.
Learning about new people is a great way to get involved in a classroom. Activities to get people to open up helps them feel more comfortable in a classroom. Finding out things about people from different towns or states helps you see life in a new way. It opens up a new level of interaction among people. After the first class I am excited to get to know everybody on a personal level. This class will help us learn all about becoming what we want to become in life!.
Someone once said:
"I believe that every human soul is teaching something to someone nearly every minute here in mortality."
This statement is something I am going to end this blog with. It not only explains what this class is going to be like but it is true. I feel you are always learning and growing each and everyday. We are alway teaching each other about something whether we know it or not!
