Post # 3: Prompt 2
There is one teacher in the classroom where I tutor and one teachers aid. The teacher is a white middle aged woman, and the teachers aid is also a middle age white woman. As far as the students, there is a lot of diversity. Some of the ethnicitys of the students are African American, Hispanic, White, and Asian. Both the students and the teachers only speak English as far as i know. I'm not sure if some of the kids speak different languages at home. Some of the students don't speak much in the classroom because of their disabilities.Some of the students seem to come from good homes but not all of them. The teacher asked one of the little boys where his shoes were and why he was wearing his boots. He told her they had broke and he didn't have any others. She instantly started to talk about looking up online where she could get him some shoes and asked him his shoe size. You can tell some of the kids come from families that can barely pay for the kids to eat lunch and breakfast, seeing as they eat both lunch and breakfast at school.I haven't been there long enough to really know a lot about the kids, but I am hoping to get to know them and what their home life and cultures are like.

This is a great story about buying shoes for the student, not an isolated event I am sure in this district...You might weant to follow up and see if this actually happens...
ReplyDeleteThat is definetly a feel good story. i agree with the professor, i would like to know if he really did get his new shoes. good luck getting to know your kids. its the best part of the experience.
ReplyDeletei noticed he did have new shoes but im not sure if the teacher got them for him or his parents did. if i get a chance to ask the teacher i will!
ReplyDeleteDid you find out who bought the shoes? Just curious... The job of teaching requires much follow up does not it!
