Cause essay again


The Redone Cause essay 1

Ear infections are no fun. The ear infections normally start out with the conman head cold. Like runny

thick green nose or even watering eye, your ears can also drain a very smelly wax. You will also notices

your child is not sleeping and just crying. They will also pull at there ears a lot or be poking there

finger in the ear or put anything that will fit in there ears. All those are the big sings of a ear infection.



The doctors say my girls get them so much is because there ears are not fully formed yet. There ears

don't drain the right way. You get fluid that builds up in your ear drum and it just sits there. If you get a

head cold it gets that fluid infected. Thats when it turns into a ear infection and they hurt and are just no

fun at all. If you get one ear infection it is more conman to keep getting them in till your ear can drain

the fluids the right way.



I know when my girls just have a conman head cold it tuns into a ear infections. It starts out like any

other head cold just a runny nose and nothing more. Than over night or even in a hour it turns into a ear

infection. Than the hole thing changes in that time and they get a very high temp and just cry and don't

stop crying. You try to get them right into the doctors to get them on some antibiotics as soon as you

can. Than hope the antibiotics work and clear it right up, so the kids are not in pain anymore, and they

stop crying.


There is another kind of ear infections called malignant otitis externa which is also now as swimmer

ear. This type of ear infection is fairly common with young teens or young adults. It is caused by

swimming at lot and getting the water in your ears. Like when you go under the water. With this kind of

ear infection it gets inflammation starts or irritation than thats how that kind of ear infection starts.

Doctors also say if kids get ear infections as a kid they are more likely to get the swimmers ear as a

teen. The fun I get to look forward to, maybe the girls will grow out of it someday.


When I see my girls starting to get a head cold I start think about all this. I watch them very close to see

if there is any changes. If there is any change I call the doctors and get them right in. I like to be on top

of my kids health and try to stop the ear infections before they get very bad. If you let the ear infections

go it can damage there hearing. Also if you have ever had a ear infections you know how bad they hurt.

The doctors say some times it is a sharp pain or burring feeling, so I don't like it when me kids are in

that kind of pain and just cry. Poor girls when they get the ear infections.

The Redone Prcess Essay On Roads

I'm writing about my favorite road, it is called The Fox Hill Road.It is our family camp road, to me it is the best camp ever. The road is about four miles long and a lot of memories everywhere. I grew up on this back road I learned how to drive on it. Lots of fun times on this road. The road is not all fun, it takes a lot of work to keep the road up to good driving. Ever season we are doing something to the road to help it be a little smoother.

I will start with in the spring there is a lot of work to do, before we start very driving to camp everyday. The road gets very muddy. When it gets very muddy we try to drag it. What we drag it with is a different story, we have used trees, old bed box springs, what every we can drag it with. We drag the road to help it stay dry so it is not so muddy. It takes a long time to drag the whole road and a couple of four wheelers or we use the skidder.  This is what we do in the spring time, and get ready for the summer.

When the next season comes is summer. We need to cut some of the raspberry or the blackberries, or some of the trees back from the road. I like this season because the boys are the ones how do the cutting, and I get out of it. The boys use the chainsaws to do the cutting so this don't take that much time. There is a bunch of them that go and do the cutting. Some times we all get lucky and our friend who has a tracker will do it for us. It takes him no time at all, than we can all get to camp and enjoy it.

Than we get the fall and the real hard work starts. We try to fill in some of the hole from the summer. That means we have to fill the trucks you with dirt and keep stopping to fill in the hole on the road. This takes a lot of hard work and a lot of time. Even if you get a couple of use doing this. This is my least favorite season because it means a lot of hard work is coming and means the summer is over and winter is coming.

The cold has set in and it is snowing and winter time. We try to plow the ride and maybe sand the road if it really bad. We still go down to the camp in the winter time to go ice fishing. I like to ride when we are plowing in less we get stuck and that is no fun. On some of the hills we need to put some sand down so we don't get stuck on them. The winter does not take as much work or time because the trucks are doing the work and not me I like that part.

We put a lot of work into our camp road but it is so worth it. We enjoy every little thing about the road, and not only being able to drive on it. If I think about how the road would be if we did not do the keep up with it, it would not be a fun ride at all. We get to enjoy the wild berries, on the roads. We also love to watch the wild life you never know what you will see on the road, deer or eagles any kinds of animals. This road has been a big part of my life so I like to be able to put the work back into it.

Fianl Exam Roads


The road I'm talking about is about four miles long and it is all dirt road. It is called The Fox Hill Road, it is the name of our family camp road. To me it is the best road ever, I grew up on it. The fun I have had on it, when we were kids we would ride in the back of the trucks. Another good thing is no one else goes on the road. The few people who do ride on it are some how family or friends. The best part of it being a dirt road there are skidder roads everywhere.

When we were kids we were always walking to camp for something to do. I still love to walk on the camp road when I have time to. Than when we were older we could drive back and fourth. That was very fun, we would always forget thing so we could drive back out to get thing. Driving the four-wheelers was good times also, would be covered in mud or dust. We would also sled down it in the winter, but the walk back was never fun. We still go sledding down it, but now we have four-wheelers to pull us back up the hill.  We would drive anything we could get going, and would have fun on the ride.


Another good part of the road is not a lot of people drive on it.You could drive very fast on the road  if you wanted to and not have to worry about hitting someone. We might of done that a lot when we were kids. You can stop in the middle of the road  and pick some black berries and raspberries. You would not have to worry about being in someones way. Another good part that people don't drive on the road, is when we are sledding down the hill. You don't want to meet anyone driving up the hill while you are sledding down. You can also just take a quit ride, to get away from everything and everyone. It is a long ride, but a very nice quit ride.

The different roads that branch off from the Fox Hill Road. I could not even tell you how many there are, at lest fifty roads. My brother has a skidder and makes roads everywhere with it. I love the roads off the main road, you never know if you will make it throw to the other side or not. That is where the fun is not knowing if you will get stuck or not. We also just ride on them to see what we can, like a doe with her lamb.or a moose, and all kinds of birds eagles the list goes on and on with what you could see for wild life.






I have so many good memories on this road. I hope my girls can love and enjoy the off road like I did. There is so much you can get out of a dirt road and a lot of people don't even know it. Like the wild life and wild berries and just a quit ride things like that. These are why it is my favorite road in the world it means so much to me.

Effect Essay

It is coming up every season, and it is no fun to do. I'm talking about blue berry raking. My dad owns two blue berry field, so I have always had to rake them every year in August . My parents have had my brothers and sisters, and me in the field ever since we were kids. None of us like doing it but it helps them out and the money helps make it worth it. It takes a lot of hard work to keep the field up.


We have to burn one of  the fields every other year. What ever field we burn we have to wait a year before we can rake it. We burn one field and rake the other field.  First we have to walk the whole field and put hay down, so the field will burn. When that is all done, than we have a little bit of fun and get to start burning it. It dose not take long and the work starts again. After if is burning we have to walk around the fields again with water tanks on our backs. To put some of the fire out if it gets to bad. Sometimes if you are lucky you get to ride a four wheeler around instead of walking.

Than the real fun starts in August. We start raking and it is very hard work. We don't have the best fields so in a day you can rake maybe ten boxes. There just is not a lot of blue berries, but a big field and you can't leave any berries behind. Our boxes are five gallon bucket's and it takes a long time to fill on all the way up. Than when you have to carry the bucket back to the end of the field with out spilling it. We have spilled many of them and nothing makes you more mad than final getting a bucket filled and than spilling it.

At the end of the day you have to dump the buckets of blue berries into boxes that the factors give you. If you have done this with out spilling it ever where you are doing good. When all the buckets are into boxes you have to write down who had what and how many boxes of blue berries. Than you load the boxes of blue berries up in the truck and bring them to the factors. Our work is almost done for the day the last thing is you have to unload the blue berries boxes onto a scale to see what the weight is. You get paid by the weight so you want a lot of weight, but when you are carrying the boxes you don't want the weight. You get tired of moving when the weight is high.


At the end of the day who does not like a little bit of hard work. I will say it is getting easier because we can make the younger kids do the harder work and sit back and tell them what to do. The blue berries come every year in August along with the hard work. We might not get a lot of berries but we still rake them every year. I always like to help my parents, when I can. My parents don't pay me for helping them, but I really don't get to help them a lot only on the weekends. If you ever need to find me in August you will now where to look on the weekends, I will be in the blue berry fields. Having fun, but now I get to bring my girls down and have them start raking, they do more eating than anything.

Process essy

Our family is thinking about getting a puppy. Just thinking about the steps we will have to take to get ready for one.  Will we be ready for another dog? They are a lot of work and need a lot of time, I don't have time for a dog with two kids and working full time and taking classes. Than I think about how much my girls would love to have a puppy, they would be so happy.  My oldest girls would help me with the dog a lot to she likes helping me with that kind of stuff, feeding them and letting the puppy outside. There is a lot to look into like a vet and getting a fence and making sure it is will be a  good family pet.

 One of the steps will be find a good vet around Ellsworth. There are a couple of vets around, so I will just have to look at them. I will also look at the prices to, because vets can be costly for shots and whatever else they might need. The vet will have to be easily to get into with kids and with a puppy. I don't think I will have a problem finding a vet, it will just take a little bit of time I hope.

The next thing we will have to get a some kind of a safety fence. Getting the fence set up before we get a puppy is going to be another part to get done before we get a puppy. Our last dog ran out in the road and got hit, so it is very import to have a safety fence. We will also need to set up a dog ran, so it can go outside with out us sometimes. We will have to set up a spot for the puppy's bed and a space for him. Do any other safety things before we get the puppy, so we will be ready for the puppy.

One of the biggest sets is to make sure the puppy is a family pet. It will have to be good with kids, but if we get a puppy it will grow up with kids and be good around kids. I always have people over to visit and the girls have friends over to. The puppy will have to be friendly with other people. We want a friendly puppy and a puppy that will play outside a lot with us.

There is a lot to do before we can get a puppy. There is a lot of work with a puppy and getting ready for one. I really miss our old dog, so it is worth all the work to get ready for one. This time we will be all set up for one and get whatever kind of safety things we can do to protect  the puppy. We will not be skipping any steps we will be ready this time. The kids would love to have another dog. My oldest girls stills talks about the old dog and can't wait to get another dog or puppy.

the fixed part of graf 3 of the final- hair

When I think about my hair I think about how I should be bald. I have been doing things to my hair since I was about thirteen years old. I think it is just hair and it will grow back some time. I have been really lucky with my hair it always comes back just as nice. My hair has been straight and put together and not to crazy and out of control. My hair is healthy looking and not all dry and unhealthy. I feel really lucky in this way.

When I was a kid my sisters friend would always do our hair. I would be up for anything we would shave the back of it. Color the sides green or pink what ever color we had. She would curl it and would burn me about ever time. I would still let her do my hair, I'm not sure way I keep letting her do it after the first burn, I should of learned. We had fun and I could fit in with the big kids and was one of them for a while. I also liked getting my hair done, and having someone do it for me. I should of know than I was going to be high needs with my hair.

It is funny to think about those days as we were kids just playing around.  As much as we did to our hair we were learning too. We learned not to try to curl your hair when it's wet, it smokes a lot and it is not good for your hair. We did that a lot we did not want to wait for it to dry. We also learned if you cut it to cut it a little longer than you want it, because you can always go back and cut more but if you cut it to short there is nothing to do but have short hair. We would always cut our bangs to short and they would just stick out and not a good look. We did learn a lot about our hair like how long it took to grow back to be able to cut it again. We also new about how long  we would have to wait to be able to die our hair again another color. We changed our colors a lot one month it would be one and next month it would change to another color. 

We have done everything to my hair from straighten, perming, coloring, highlighting, cut it. I really like to straighten my hair and it straightens very easy. Ever now and than I like to change it up and do a perm I also like all the curls. I have been real lucky with the perms no bad ones yet, but I do the big curls not the small curls. I think the big curls look good with my hair. I have not colored it for a long time, but I still highlight it a lot. I go about every three or four months and redo my highlights. I also grow my hair out and when I'm tired of long hair I will have her cut it very short. I like to change my hair up with cutting it short or having it long. I think sometimes they are to hard to keep up with my hair the highlights and cutting it. Than I thank My friend who does all that for my thank god for her. She make my hair look good for me at all times.

I know how lucky I am to have her do all that for me. I really like going and getting my hair done with her. I like the new look she gives me every time. I just went over the weekend to get my hair done and we cut it really short, and highlighted it again, I was there all morning from about nine to one, so it takes a long time to do my hair. I really like to changing my hair look when ever I can. It is nice to have the same person doing my hair after all the years, even when we were kids.

A Brewer Girl hopes her battle with Lyme disease can help

I think the paper is correct most of the time with the stories. It is very helpful to be able to  know what is going on around you. I like the set up of the paper online or just the paper that you can get in the mail.




This was what the article was about a little girl who had been sick for the last four years. The name stuck with me and the picture of her stuck with me also, but I could not figure out who she was. The poor little girl had Lyme disease and no doctor could figure it out. She ended up going to Connecticut to a doctor and he finally found out that she had Lyme disease. I was telling my parents and my sister about the story and my sister told me that it was sally who my niece showed and took care of there goats with. I felt so bad for her, because she is a very good kid and was always happy. She is know helping organize a community "Tick Talk"  and she is the one talking to schools things like that. I think it is a great thing what she is doing.

A new annotated bilbliogtaphies

For the Annotated bibliography I have just read a article From the Bangor Daily New that was posted on line. I like to be able to read them that moment, and not have to wait till the next day when it is in the paper. I like to read the paper on line  it keeps me up to date with things going on  in the towns around me. I feel most of the stories that the New paper writes are true. I will read the on line papers again for sure. The Head Lines was "A Brewer girls hopes her battler with Lyme disease can help"

I have just read a article on a little girl who had been sick for the last four years. The name stuck with me and the picture of her stuck with me also, but I could not figure out who she was. The poor little girl had Lyme disease and no doctor could figure it out. She ended up going to Connecticut to a doctor and he finally found out that she had Lyme disease.

I think it is a great thing what she is doing.

When I first looked it up I used my Yahoo Search and came up with a bunch of different things and two that had her story. The first one I looked at was from the Bangor Daily New and the head line was "A Brewer girl hopes her battler with Lyme disease can help." This had a lot of info about the story and how many doctors she went to and than about the one who figured it out for her. I did not have a lot about her "Tick Talk"  that she is putting together for other people, so they don't have to go throw what she went through. I will go back to the Bangor Daily New to see and read articles. I like how they update there on line paper all the time, If you looked at the paper you would have to wait for it to come out the next day. It is a lot faster to look it up online. You have to pay for the new paper, but when you look it up online it does not coast anything. I really like that. With the real new paper that you get in the mail, when you are reading a story they only show half of it than you have to look half way throw the paper to find the other half of the story to finishing reading it I don't like that at all, but when you look it up online it is all there and don't have to find it is a lot easy to read.

I also looked at "BDN Blogs Maine Out There" The head line was  "Brewer girl Lyme disease story powerful" I did not think there was a lot of detail about her story like the parts about being sick and how bad she got with the disease. It did have a lot about her "Tick Talk" and were she was having them and when. It got right to the point and was o.k  I would go back to look at articles. With the BDN is about the same thing it's free to read. You don't have to wait to read it and the story  is all they. I really liked how it was set up it was easy to get to and it was a good set up I thought.

new example essay

How do I get to where we are going on time with out the girls slowing me down? How do I try to stay on step a head up them? I try to stay a step a head of them, but they always get a head of me. Than we are late or almost late. I can't stand to be late for things,but the girls are a good reason for being late. If I did not have to drag them everywhere with me I would never be late.

When we are running late most of the time it's, because one of the girls has dumped something like there juice on there shirt or pants so we have to changing them right before we are going out the door. Than one of them has to go to the bathroom or needs a diaper that takes at lest another five minutes that I didn't plan for. Than getting there coats on them and getting them out to the car I think this takes the longest like a lest another ten minutes. It's funny when you look at how long it really take you to get the small things ready, but you really think it should only take a few minutes tops. I feel my kids are always slowing me down, because they always need something right before we leave.

Another thing they slow me down with is going to the store. There is no more just running in and getting something. It starts with getting them out of the car seats and buckles. Than getting them into the store and they always need something to eat or drink. You have to go find the one kind of juice they like.Try to get whatever else you needed and hope they did not see anything they just had to have. My girls see chips and they think have to have some so I try to skip those kind  rows. Just to get out of the store faster, but it is never fast in and out. Than there is loading them back in the car seats and buckles and opening the juice and what else we got. Than I put the bags in the car. It is a lot different than if I was by my self just running in.

Picking them up from daycare always take for ever to get them out the door and in the car. They don't want to stop playing with there friends.  It is a fight to get them to stop playing with there friends. Than when I get them to stop playing, I have to get there coats and shoes on them and trying to chases two kids around to get there shoes on is quite funny looking I'm sure. After a while they both have shoes and a coat on them. Than I bring juices in the mornings for them to have for the ride home, so we go get them. Than it is out to the car finally and get them in there seats.

To think how much time I would have if I didn't have to drag them everywhere with me. I would be on time and than some I would not know what to do with out them and the fighting to get them ready. I would not have it any other way, I guess being late for a while is not so bad every now and than. They will not be this small for long so enjoy it while I can. When they like being with me and doing things with me, because when they get older they will not want to be with me as much and they will want to be with there friends. I don't mind if they slow me down for now.

Example essay into

How do I get to where every I'm going on time with two kids? Sometimes I think it is impossible. I can't stand being late for something. I try to leave our house like a hour before we need to be some where. It takes a half hour just to get to town. Just when I think we will be on time something happens to one of the girls, like we have to change a shirt or one needs to go to the bathroom, the list goes on and on. Our mornings are so crazy, making sure every one is ready, like dressed and hair done and feed. I also make sure we have everything for the day . I try to pack everything before the girls get up, to stay on step ahead of them.

the contrast redone

For my contrast essay I thought me looking for a new job vs my current job. With my current job I have been there for six plus years. I'm kind of up on the pole kind of thing. I'm a infant toddler caregiver.  So I take care of Infants and Toddles all day and help them learn. I also hold four files, we keep track of everything with each child. We make sure they are development is were it should be. We deal with CDS for kids that have special needs. We also keep up with there doctors and make sure the kids are going to a doctors. If they are not seeing a doctor we help them find one and a way to pay for it. We meet with the parents about six times a year we go to there homes to see how they are doing if they need help with anything.  I love what I do, working with kids, and there families. You never know who you will get or what there needs are. When you are able to help a  family it is a real nice feeling. Most of our parents respect us and tell us how thankful they are that they have such good caregivers. If I got a new job I would be the new girl, and that is no fun. I like who I am and where I am at my job, like people come to me for help and I know what is going on with our families and how to do the paper work. I have also worked with about all the same people for the last six years. Most of us work very good with each other. The biggest thing with me looking for a new job is I want different hours. If I was to get a new job the hours would have to work around the schools hours.

 If I could change one thing about my job is the hours. If I got a new job, I would look at the hours first to make sure that they would work for me and my family. I'm working 9:30 to 5:30 it is to late, because I don't get home till 6:15 and with kids that's dinner time. It is also hard in the morning because we don't really have time in the mornings to eat or do anything. I would like to work 8-4 or even earlier than that. I don't like working 9:30 to 5:30 it is to hard with kids. I also trying to think about when my oldest goes to school and the hours she will be gone. I would love to have more time at night with my family. If I worked different hours at a new job I would have more time.

The hardest thing about a new job is the new people. At my current job I know everyone and who to trust and not trust. With a new job I would have to get to know everyone again. I also know who I need to go to when I need help or who will help you. At a new job I would have to ask all the questions again and find my way. We work in teams, each classroom has three people in it. There is the leads who run the classroom. Than there is the teachers who are do about the same work as the lead, but don't have the risibility of every one in the room. Than there are our Assistants who help us with what ever we need, they are the ones in the classrooms at all time. My lead is great to me, I know she always has my back if I need anything she never questions what I do. I'm the Teacher in our room, so I'm in the middle of everything. Than there is our Asst. teacher she is a little different but she is very good with the kids and with helping us in any way she can. Each room has there own teams, I feel we have the best team and will always help each other out when we need it. The other rooms don't seem to help us out or there own teams out, like we sometimes have to go to there rooms to help them because there own staff will not stay.  It will be very hard to leave my team, because we have been working together for the last three years and one of them for the last six years. We work great together and half the time we don't even need to talk to each other we just know what to do. I would not have that with a new job and will have to learn how to read people and what they want me to do things like that.

I will say I do get good benefits right now. We have Dental, Eye, Health insurance the eye is very good and the dental and health are o.k. I don't know how good the insurances would be starting off again. Like where I work they pay for my health insurance. I don't think that many places pay for our health insurance, because most health insurance just keeps going up and up in cost. I also have built up my sick time so I have a bunch of time built up. If I started a new job I would not have sick time if one of the girls get sick. At my job now it adds up faster  for me where I have been there so long. If I got a new job I might not even get sick time or I would not add up as fast. I really need my sick time because of my kids are sick a lot too. This part would be hard to leave just because I have work so hard to get my benefits. Sometimes other places have other very good benefits too.

As you can see I'm in a hard spot with me job. Do I just quit and start over again or stay and deal with it. I really feel that I'm at the quit part. I'm ready for a new start and new people. If that means I have to start over at the bottom of the pole than I'm ready. I will really miss my old job the parents and the staff. I will stay working with kids and their families. As long as I'm working with kids and there families I will be happy.

The annotated bilbliographies lecturette 2

I have just read a article on a little girl who had been sick for the last four years. The name stuck with me and the picture of her stuck with me also, but I could not figure out who she was. The poor little girl had Lyme disease and no doctor could figure it out. She ended up going to Connecticut to a doctor and he finally found out that she had Lyme disease. I was telling my parents and my sister about the story and my sister told me that it was sally who my niece showed and took care of there goats with. I felt so bad for her, because she is a very good kid and was always happy. She is know helping organize a community "Tick Talk"  and she is the one talking to schools things like that. I think it is a great thing what she is doing.

When I first looked it up I used my Yahoo Search and came up with a bunch of different things and two that had her story. The first one I looked at was from the Bangor Daily New and the head line was "A Brewer girl hopes her battler with Lyme disease can help." This had a lot of info about the story and how many doctors she went to and than about the one who figured it out for her. I did not have a lot about her "Tick Talk"  that she is putting together for other people, so they don't have to go throw what she went through. I will go back to the Bangor Daily New to see and read articles.

I also looked at "BDN Blogs Maine Out There" The head line was  "Brewer girl Lyme disease story powerful" I did not think there was a lot of detail about her story like the parts about being sick and how bad she got with the disease. It did have a lot about her "Tick Talk" and were she was having them and when. It got right to the point and was o.k  I would go back to look at articles.

Contrast essay due, essay 4

The road I travel ever day is a long one. I live in Waltham Maine, not a lot of people know were that is. It is about half hour from Ellsworth, and it is all wooded area right in the middle of now were. Lots of wild animals. It is just miles of road you get bored of driving it ever day, because nothing changes same things ever day trees and more trees. This time of year the road just gets worse and worse with the holes and bumps get really bad. In the winter time with the snow is very bad our plow guy is not that good. It does not help that were I live the wind is always blowing and that makes it hard to keep up with the snow. It is nice and quit and a lot of back roads.

It is funny when I look at the road I live on now and as to how I looked at the road as a child. I look at it as very dangerous. I have lost two dogs because of the road a year apart. As a child we had like maybe two dogs hit there my hole childhood. Maybe I just have bad luck with dogs. The road  was very quit when I was a child we could ride our bikes in the road and go for walks all the time. I would never do that now or let my kids play out there. There are more big trucks and more and people and they go very fast when they go by. I always saw the road  as being fun as a kid, but not now. The road is a lot different than how it was when I was a child. I loved the road when I was a kid and now I see the road as being very dangerous.

I feel that the road I travel is very dangerous. It is so long and not a lot of people travel it, so if something happens who know when someone will find you. There are moose and bears and all kinds of wild life and you never know when the animals are going to be out in the road.  It is also nice to watch the animals, and my kids love to see the deer and what ever else we see. Not a lot of people have seen a moose or bears we see them every once and a while. The roads in them self are dangerous not well maintained, just with the frost, snow, and rain, but that is what happens when you live in a small town. You have to deal with that kind of stuff. I think it is worth it to live out and a small town were I grew up.

The best part  of where I live is all the back roads and skidder, jeep, and four-wheeler trails. I love them but those kind of trails are not for everyone. I love the mud and getting suck and just riding a round. Some people don't like mud and get really mad when they get suck. I feel it makes it a little more fun, because someone is going to get stuck. Than sometimes when things brake in the mud its not so much fun. That is when it gets a little costly and that is not a lot of fun either. The cleaning part is not a hole lot of fun either.

I love the part of my road is being back at my home town. Most of my family is right there a couple of minutes a way from each other. It really feels like I'm back home. That is because I live right next door to my parents house. There are some days when I wish I was anywhere but next to them. Than there are the days when my sisters and brothers drive me crazy and I can't get a way from them. Even when my family drive me crazy I still love them. I also know they are right there if I need anything. All in all when I dive home on the long drive home I know me family is all ways there for me just like I have been there for them in the past. The road outside my house means much more to me than just a road. It is the road I have always traveled in my life and it brings me home to my family and my friends.

I really need my sick time because of my kids are sick a lot too. This part would be hard to leave just because I have work so hard to get my benefits.

I-Search report

I was getting stuck on my I-Search paper and that's way my Causes essay was wrong. I thought the Causes essay had to be about our I-Search paper. But now I know the Causes essay has nothing to do with the I-Search paper. So I'm feeling good with my I-Search paper and I have done a lot of the research all ready and talked to a couple of people about my questions for my I-Search paper. A lot of my questions kind of had to be answered by another person and their thoughts around eating healthier.

Than there are some parents that are very hard to work with and sometimes the parents are great to work with and want to work with you.



I could go on and on with my likes and dis likes with my job. Than I guess that it is about them same anywhere with the things you like and dis like. There are three girls our team and we get along great, but than we have our days that we don't get along that well. I know if I ever needed back up or a little more help with something they would be there. We have been a strong team together for about three years.

I have started to look up ideas for my kids birthday parties. I got a bunch of different parties for kids and the different things to do. It was helpful for me. There was the same old birthday parties and than there way different Holiday parties for kids. There was also fundraiser parties for kids. They broke some of the most popular parties for kids was a princess and pirate parties for girls and boys. I will say I liked the princess party idea for my kids it works for them. They had some party entertainment for kids parties too. I also thought was a good idea they do everything for you very nice and helpful. The parties games were all about the same like face painting, balloon sculpting, and different dancing.

For the regular birthday party but the themes are endless. We went to a pirate party last summer. They had a little pirate boat fill with water to play in. There were little pirate ducks for the kids to take home with them. They had the kids dress up as little pirates with the hats and eye patches. I think that pirate parties work for girls or boys parties. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed it.

We also went to a princes party. They did it all up and got little crowns for the girls and boys. They made a big castle for the kids to go in it. The windows and doors opened the kids loved it. The best part of the party was that it was her first party and she was 5 years old. She was so happy how well her foster parents made the party for her.

For all the holiday parties everyone goes to a year. It's hard to limit holiday parties to just one, I like all the holiday parties with my kids. My kids get right into them I try to get into them also. Like for Valentin's day  I made her write a card to all her friends and write there names on them. I try to make her learn things from the parties, and we talk about way we celebrate the holiday. We also talk about the holiday were it first started what it really means.

I think when I comes to kids you can have a party anytime and for no reason. Kids don't care as long as there friends get to come and play with them and they do something fun. The party entertainment could be very helpful to some people. They come do everything for you and make the kids happy and you don't have to do anything the best part. They also have some great philosophies. I would get them if they were around this area. As you can see we go to a lot of different parties but they are all fun. It is  great to get the kids out with there friends to play and  party.

Causes Essay 1 redone

Six years ago when I started working at head start there was not a lot of talk about healthy eating or staying healthy by exercising. When you look back you can see how high over weight kids were getting.You can also see how much the portions has changed. There is a very good web sit with great graphs on over weight kids it has some good tips on how to avoid portion distortion. It is the National Heart, Lungs and Blood institute at http://hin.nhlbi.nih.gov/portion. It is good to see that Doctors and other people are getting the word about how to stay healthy and what a difference it makes. How much fun eating healthy can be when you turn it into a game like dancing to get them moving and exercising. Have kids helping make the snacks like wash a apple than peel it and cut it.Kids are more likely to eat fruits and veggies if they have helped make it.  Our trainings are fun and come up with good ideas for the kids and there families. We try to come up with different fun exercises for our kids for inside and outside. Even the development needs has changed to more kids from one to three years old are being referred to C.D.S. It is very nice to see the changes so the littler kids are getting the help they need and its not just the school age kids. I like to think if you start them earlier with a referral so they get the help they will not need them latter on in school. The biggest reason I got into child care was for the kids to help them get the help they need and help them learn what they need to get the developmental needs met. To help the parents feel good about leaving there kids with someone they know will take care of there children and love them and that the parents can trust. It is fun to see the kids years latter down the road to see how there are doing in grade school and how they are acting.

A apart of being healthier is being able to pick healthier foods. Like buying  fruits and veggies  instead of chips and candy. If you buy fruits are will snack on that instead of chips. A tip on snacking on fruits is to wash them and cut it up before so you can grab and go when you need to. The same thing with your veggies you can put little sides of dip with it, I love to dip in ranch with my veggies. Kids will eat there fruits and veggies more if there are out for them to eat. Parent needs to be able to let there kids make the choice for what they eat. That is how they learn what is good healthy foods and what is not healthy foods. You need to talk to them about the foods they are eating. If your not eating healthy you put your self at a higher risk for health problems. Like  lead poisoning, diabetes, heart issues that is just a start of problems to come.   

Being able to exercise is a part also. Kids need to learn how to exercise at a young age. If you make it fun they will love it and will not even know they are being healthy. We try to get over kids outside ever day. During the winter we have our kids pull each other in a sled. In the summer we go for walks with them. We just get them up and moving and any moving is good keeps them active. They love to dance and this is great exercises for them. Kids like to move and stay active. If you are not exercising or moving you are over weight or soon will be over weight. The less you exercises the harder it is to just move and get around. If you can't do that than this effects your hole body in different ways, like tie your shoes and other development delays. Your health is another thing it can effect like being sick a lot from being over weight.

There is the developmental issues, that come form not being healthy. We mostly see developmental issues from not eating healthy, and not being able to exercise. This is sad to me when we see this, because the child didn't ask for the parent to not feed them or to over feed them. If the child is under feed they are not as strong as other children. If they are over feed they are so over weight they can not move around. Than there is the learning part with the developmental issues if there brain is not being nourished it is not going to function  like it should. Than you have the problems and the child falls behind in there learning all because they did not have a good start. From not eating healthy kids don't get nourished like they should. Than they are not as strong as they should be and throws there development off. If they are over nourished and to big they can't move around and run and jump like other children that also throws there developmental needs off.

Cause Essay 1

Six years ago when I started working at head start there was not a lot of talk about healthy eating or staying healthy by exercising. When you look back you can see how high over weight kids were getting.You can also see how much the portions has changed. There is a very good web sit with great graphs on over weight kids it has some good tips on how to avoid portion distortion. It is the National Heart, Lungs and Blood institute at http://hin.nhlbi.nih.gov/portion. It is good to see that Doctors and other people are getting the word about how to stay healthy and what a difference it makes. How much fun eating healthy can be when you turn it into a game like dancing to get them moving and exercising. Have kids helping make the snacks like wash a apple than peel it and cut it.Kids are more likely to eat fruits and veggies if they have helped make it.  Our trainings are fun and come up with good ideas for the kids and there families. We try to come up with different fun exercises for our kids for inside and outside. Even the development needs has changed to more kids from one to three years old are being referred to C.D.S. It is very nice to see the changes so the littler kids are getting the help they need and its not just the school age kids. I like to think if you start them earlier with a referral so they get the help they will not need them latter on in school. The biggest reason I got into child care was for the kids to help them get the help they need and help them learn what they need to get the developmental needs met. To help the parents feel good about leaving there kids with someone they know will take care of there children and love them and that the parents can trust. It is fun to see the kids years latter down the road to see how there are doing in grade school and how they are acting.

A apart of being healthier is being able to pick healthier foods. Like buying  fruits and veggies  instead of chips and candy. If you buy fruits are will snack on that instead of chips. A tip on snacking on fruits is to wash them and cut it up before so you can grab and go when you need to. The same thing with your veggies you can put little sides of dip with it, I love to dip in ranch with my veggies. Kids will eat there fruits and veggies more if there are out for them to eat. Parent needs to be able to let there kids make the choice for what they eat. That is how they learn what is good healthy foods and what is not healthy foods. You need to talk to them about the foods they are eating.

Being able to exercise is a part also. Kids need to learn how to exercise at a young age. If you make it fun they will love it and will not even know they are being healthy. We try to get over kids outside ever day. During the winter we have our kids pull each other in a sled. In the summer we go for walks with them. We just get them up and moving and any moving is good keeps them active. They love to dance and this is great exercises for them. Kids like to move and stay active.

There is the developmental issues, that come form not being healthy. We mostly see developmental issues from not eating healthy, and not being able to exercise. This is sad to me when we see this, because the child didn't ask for the parent to not feed them or to over feed them. If the child is under feed they are not as strong as other children. If they are over feed they are so over weight they can not move around. Than there is the learning part with the developmental issues if there brain is not being nourished it is not going to function  like it should. Than you have the problems and the child falls behind in there learning all because they did not have a good start.

At head start I work for we try to teach kids the difference between a good healthy food choice as to a unhealthy foods. We also get them moving as much as we can and tell them how important it is to move and exercises. We do a lot of things with the kids that they can bring home and do with there parents. The parents enjoy this to it gets them moving too and having fun with there kids. That's why it is very important for children to get a healthy start in life. They also need to learning what is healthy foods and not healthy, and how important exercises is for them.

About the I-search Where- Who

Where will I find the answers I'm looking for there are a couple of different web sits that are great for my topic. We use Choosy Kids a lot and they are great. www.Choosykids.com http://hin.nhlbi.nih.gov/portion.com I am moving I am learning is also a great link. I also have some great people at work that can give me some great ideas and more information. That do our trainings on healthier choices so I'm very lucky I have them right at work. There will be some actives to keep people moving and thinking about what they are eating. I'm sure there will be some problems coming up there always is something. 

What I know

I would say I know a lot about helping kids pick healthier choices. We have a lot of trainings on this so we can bring it back to our families, but I really enjoy this topic. One of the biggest things for making healthier choices is how your brain develop. Your brain is more likely to develop faster when you make healthy choices, because your brain needs to be well hydrated and needs a lot of oxygen. The more you move is better for your brain. Your  brain has a mind line and the more you cross it the brain the more you brain develops.  I think it is one of the most important ones is the kids development.
Kids really learn a lot when they are move and exercising and they don't even know it. Kids learn through there play and don't even know it. They are learning there space and how much room there bodies take up. So there don't run into things and there peers. They are also learning how to march or jump or skip, how to move there feet. They learn how to talk to there peers and about what they are doing. The list can go on and on about how much there are learning.
They can learn about rhythm and rhyming and counting. You can put all that in to a song and the kids love it. They will also learn the words and tell each other if one is not doing it right or if they are just doing it different. There is really so much kids learn by just being a little active. They don't even know it and you don't know it in till you really look at it what you just did with them.

Outro

At this point I hope you feel the same was as I do about how important it is for kids to be able to make healthier choices. How much they can gain from being able to make this kind of choices for life. Some of the choices can affect them for life. If they are making healthy choices at a young age they are more likely to keep making healthy choices through out there life. If they are moving and exercising at a young age they will also keep doing this through out there life's. If we can start teaching kids early, that is just what they will know to make healthy choices. They will also be more likely to make a healthy choice, when asked what they want. They will also like more healthy snacks and foods than a child that is not offered fruits and veggies. Lets teach our kids to be healthy because if we don't who will teach them and than will it be to late? Lets start them at a young age to be healthy and the different choices.

Second Intro Graf

When I first start working at the head start six years ago there was not a lot of talk about healthy eating staying healthy. When you look back you can see how high over weight kids were getting. About the last two years we have about four trainings a year about over weight children. It is good to see that Doctors and other people are getting the word about how to stay healthy and what a difference it makes. How fun eating healthy can be when you turn it into a game like dancing helping make the snacks. Our trainings are fun and come up with good ideas for the kids and there families. Even the development needs has changed to more kids from one to three years old are being referred to C.D.S. It is very nice to see the changes so the littler kids are getting the help they need and its not just the school age kids. I like to think if you start them earlier with a referral so they get the help they will not need them latter on in school. The biggest reason I got into child care was for the kids to help them get the help they need and help them learn what they need to get the developmental needs met. 

First Infro Graf

I really care about kids and there health. I want every child to have the best start they can have with there health and learning. I also like to help parents out with what ever they need to learn about this topic. Some parents don't know a lot about healthy choices, but they want to learn. Than they can teach it to there kids and help them be able to pick healthy over unhealthy. I really like to read articles about over weight children and be able to learn from them. Where I work at a Head Start we also have a lot of trainings on how to make healthy choices. We learn different fun ways to keep kids healthy and moving. If the kids really enjoy it we tell the parent what we have been doing so they can do it at home to. I would like to think the work we are doing with our kids and parents really helps them to be healthier. I know with my child who was in Head Start it has made a difference with how she picks foods.

Graf 12 More Me

I'm a very caring person who loves kids. I love working kids and helping them learn things. There are some days it is very hard to do my job. Like when we have sick kids or when we have to talk to a parent about a referral. Sometimes it is simple and sometimes it not as easily to talk to them about. I will say I think the hardest part of my job is the parents sometimes. Some parents just don't know a lot of things or don't think about them. They also didn't think about what the child is seeing or learning for some of the choices they make. The best part of my day is the kids you just never know what they will say to you or what they will do. I also try to work with my parents and help them as best I can. It's a nice feeling to know if you have helped a family. 

New Outros

I hope some parents can use some of the tools, to help there kids make healthier choices. I know they really help us were I work. Our kids love to dance with them and learn how to march and skip and to use the space around them with out running in to there peers.  The C.D.s are very fun to do with the kids and than to  watch them try to do it is just as fun. We also do the healthier snacks and lunches. We eat with the kids and eat the veggies even if we don't like them. We also have the kids help make there snacks. So they are learning the skill of cutting, peeling, and washing. They also learn about there fruits and veggies how they are a healthy choice. Just have fun with it, you can dance to anything. Ever little bit helps kids learn and be healthier.

New Intros With healthy kids

I would like to promote healthy eating and healthy exercising for kids. To get our kids up and moving and also to help them be able to make healthy choices. To also talk about the different ways to help our parents give there kids a healthy choices. I know how hard it can be to get our kids up and active. A lot of our parents are so busies and do have the time to make there kids get up and exercise, but it can be as simple as just dancing. Most kids love to dance and it is very good exercising for them too. Most kids like to eat fruits  and raw veggies but it is cheaper to buy junk food and easier just grab it and go. There are a couple of good ideas for fast healthy snacks and to get you and your child moving. Some good teaching ideas to help some parents and children learn the difference with healthy choices and unhealthy choices.   

New Nutshell

I would like to promote healthy eating for children, because a lot of kids are over weight. This is a growing problem with our kids now a days. When you look at how active  kids  are, they are not as active as they use to be. Now a day kids play games and watch TV. and just sit there and not move around much. This is leading to over weight kids. Another part of the problem is eating healthy. I think a lot of our parents don't know how important it is to teach there kids to eat healthy. I feel it is easier and cheaper for parents to just grab junk food, instead of healthy fruits and veggies. Do they rally think about what there kids are seeing? The kids don't know the difference between healthy and junk food in in less they are told. I also would like to put so good healthy ideas out there for them, so they can make better healthy choices than unhealthy choices.

We just bought me a new car. It is a 2010 Ford Explorer loaded. It just took was about four months to get on. I first looked at insurance to make sure it would not go up, but it went down. I also looked at the safety, it is more safe than my old car. It is smaller and more sir bags just more safety features. Than I looked at what it gets for gas most of them were about 19 miles a gallon. That was also good for me. I need the third row seating still and the explorers have it. I have to look at a bunch of different things before I even test drove one. I looked at some than drove one. I really liked how they ride and it handled very good to. Than we would talk to a dealer ship and try to work some numbers. It never seemed to work with the other dealers. Than I saw the one at Quirk and they worked with us very well on the numbers with my trade in. We ended up buying it because we will be saving with the gas and the insurance the best part it is safer. How could I not get a new car, I also like to trade in about every year or two.

My outro is going back to my nutshell paper. Final I got the right car for me and my family.We test drove a lot of different cars. We also talked to a lot of dealer ships and tried to work numbers. They just never worked out. Than we went to Quirk and found the right car for us. It was in our price range. The dealer ship came down a lot on it and gave me a good trade in for my old car. It is also the right size for us it still has the third row seating.I can still fit all the kids in it and still have a little bit of room. It is great on gas it average about 20 miles a gallon. That is so much better than my old on that was about 12 miles a gallon. This has a higher safety rating with the side air bags. It ended up being a Ford Explorer and it fits us great. 

Lecturette 3 Intros

When I was about 14 years old me and my sister took our moms car to work. Little did we know we would not make it to work. On our way in a drink driver hit us and totaled both cars. He left the sense of the accident. So he got a way with a O.U.Y, because he went home and he could of been drinking at home. We all knew he was drink, he never asked us if we were ok or anything. I don't think it is ok for people to get a way with that just because he left the sense  we all saw he and knew he had been drinking. He still got a way with it. I also think that if you want to hurt your self or even kill you self from drinking and driving that is fine but most of the time you end up hurting other people and there families. That is not right because someone was not thinking.  After I knew that my sister was ok, I looked at my nails because I had just had them done and I was going to be so mad if I had broke any of them.If he had broke any of  them he would of been in some trouble with me.

Lecturette 2 Nutshell

I have been looking to buy a car for about the last 4 months. For one I don't like it anymore. I don't like how much gas it used I got about 12 miles a gallon. It is also very to big and top heave. It does not feel that safe on our roads. I'm looking for some better on gas and a little bit safer, and just the right size for our family, I still want a SUV. The price is also a big thing too, I don't want to pay a hole lot either, so it has to be just the right price to.

                                               How To Keep Kids Healthy And Moving
When you children playing what do you think? Do you see them learning and moving? When I see kids playing a tag game or other games like that I see much more than that. There are learning and moving and talking to each other. I think is is a growing problem with our kids. We have a very high percent of kids that are now over weight. They don't know how to be healthy and make good choices. Like to eat fruits and veggies instead of chips and cookies. I'm not saying don't eat chips and cookies and candy, but give the kids a choice and talk to them about the differences. I think the same thing about kids and playing outside. Kids need to know how important it is to play outside and just move around instead of sitting in front of the TV.

 At our center we have a CD that is called I am Moving I am Learning. It has a bunch of high beat songs on it, so it makes you want to dance to it. They are also very fun to do with the kids and they love the songs and the dances/ moves. A big part of the songs are about fruits and veggies and how to pick a healthy snack. It gets them dancing and moving that the best part. We have another CD that is great that teaches kids to jump and skip and march. This helps get there engine out and  they are exercising. They are also learning how to move with out hitting each other. About there space and how to move in it. This really helps us in the winter when we cant get out as much because it is to cold out. It is really good for our parents to try it at home for when the kids cant get outside. It is a fun group dance.



I don't think so of the parents to day know how important being healthy is.Not only for the kids but them was well. So if you can get outside for just a little bit it is better than just sitting watching TV. People don't go outside and play or go for a walk or play tag. When I see kids outside I think about how much they are getting from just being outside. They are getting there exercising in and if they are playing with someone there are communicating to each other. If they are building something they are using there fine motor skills. I think it is very important  for the parents to do the exercising with the kids. To also talk to them about how they are making a healthy choice. By just playing outside something there like to do.



Another part of being healthy if the eating part. Kids need to know how to make a healthy snack and how important it is. Kid don't know how to eat healthy they need to be tough  how to. If you give them more fruits and veggies than they will pick them over chips and other sweets. We work with our parents on how to make fun healthy snacks with there kids. Like to have the kids cut a banana or peel it. We have found that the kids are more likely to try new fruits and veggies if they help make it, like help cleaning it or cutting it things like that. We like to do a lot of food projects with the kids and our families. They seem to enjoy it to.

I think if we can help the parents first than we can help the kids learn to make healthy choices. I think it is great to get the kids outside and any kid of moving. The kids like to dances so its not exercising to them it's fun for them. That is way I think our CD are great for our families, Because who does not like to dance. The next time you see kids playing I hope you see much more than them just playing.  Like them exercising or talking to each other, learning there space. how to move and march skip the list goes on and on. We hope to get our kid up and moving around and being healthier.

New Graf 10

My child keeps me busy with the doctors office, we are going all the time. Ever since Addie was 4 months old we were at the doctors and ER about once a week, some weeks it would be two times in a week. She gets ear infections and pink eye had whooping cough. I can't remember how many time she has had a ear infections and how many times she had pink eye. She had the whooping cough two different times. Now that she is 10 moths old she is sick again. She has been pulling at her ears and not sleeping and crying a lot. She has a bad cough to on top of all that. I have looked in her mouth and it looks like her two top teeth are coming in. I thought do I bring her  back to the doctors or do I just call it teething.

     She had just had a ear infection last week, I was thinking it did not go a way. When she had the ear infection last week it was the same thing. Like not sleeping, crying a lot, pulling at her ears.  It was not getting any better so I called the doctors. Her ear were clear so it must be teething than. That made me happy that her ears were clear. I wish I new if she was teething or not instead of going to the doctors ever time. I feel like if I don't bring her to the doctors, like when I think she is teething it will be a ear infection and it will get really bad and hurt her hearing. It is very hard you never know what to do with them.


   As mad as they gets, I still love them no matter what. Even if we have not slept all night all they have to do is smile and all that goes away like it never happen. It is so hard when they can't tell you what is wrong and they just get mad because you don't know whats wrong with them. I think they are only a baby once too, so I try to take ever moment with them good or bad. I also hope soon she will grow out of the ear infections. Her teeth will coming in soon to and we will not have to do it again. We will be able to sleep again maybe even through the night.

Every day when I come home I see a trailer with two sheds be side it. I think in my head how small it is. I also think about how we have no room for anything.We are about a half hour from town, so we now plan our trips in town. It is very hard to see a trailer when we had a ranch style house with a full basement. It was close to town like five minutes. We had all kinds of room, but we lived there before we had kids. We moved into the trailer when we had our first child. We wanted something closer to my family, so we are now right next to them. We also wanted something that was ours. The best part was it was paid for. I guess when every day when I see it I should think about how it is ours. It was really what we wanted at the time and what we needed. Hopefully someday soon we will have another house that we can build. For now I have to say I love my trailer-my house it works for now. It just shows you need to really look at what you have before its gone.

When I was looking throw them I really liked the one about the Labradors. I have had two labs and loved them. There is a lot to them and every dog is different. I thought this was some good ideas about the labs. How she went into the health and feeding of them. I also like how they wrote about raising a teenager. They had a lot of ideas that you don't think of on a day to day.I also agree it there is a lot good information they had, because raising a teenager can be really hard. Most people that are raising a teenager need all the help they can get and some good ideas to keep the teenager talking to them, ideas like she had. I also liked the one about growing up because who really want to grow up. I know I did not want to but I'm glad I did grow up. They had some good questions on there I-search paper.

Graf 10 3-part paragraph

My kids my kids. They are always keeping me busy. My baby is ten months old. She is always getting sick. She is always going to the doctors for whatever reason. She gets very mad and has a hard time sleeping. She also cries a lot. She does not like to wait for anything. All week she has been like this not sleeping or eating. She has also been pulling at her ears. There is a lot going on with her, it could be another ear infecting or just teething. With the teething it could be anything like a temp, puling her ears, not sleeping,and just mad. I thought we would wait be for we went to the doctors to see if it could get better or not. She has just got over a ear infection about a week ago. She also had pink eye with the ear infection. She had been getting a little bit better from them. I made me think it was just teething. Her top tooth is right there about ready to come through. Than her older sister ended up getting sick too. I brought her to the doctors and than thought I should bring her to because if I did not bring her she would of gotten worse again. Than I would have to make another trip to the doctors. Now they both are fine and there was nothing wrong with them. I feel if I did not bring them it would of gotten worse, and been another ear infection or something like that. As mad as they gets, I still love them no matter what. Even if we have not slept all night all they have to do is smile and all that goes away like it never happen. It is so hard when they can't tell you what is wrong and they just get mad because you don't know whats wrong with them. I think they are only a baby once too, so I try to take ever moment with them good or bad. I also hope soon she will grow out of the ear infections. Her teeth will coming in soon to and we will not have to do it again. We will be able to sleep again maybe even through the night.

My hands Graf 1

When I think about my hand I just think that they are plan. That there is nothing to them but when I really look at them I see so much more. When I look at my right hand I see the scar were I had carp-tunnel. It reminds me about how much pain I had before. I had surgery last October for it and it is so much better now. With my left hand I always see my diamond ring. It the love of my life gave me. I think of him when I see it, I also think of our two great girls when I see it. They remind me about my life and how happy we are as a family. I also have a scar under my ring finger right on my knuckles. I did it when I was a kid so I'm not sure how it happened or what I did but it's there. My hands to me are long like piano fingers. There are also very clean, because I work with infants and toddlers I'm always washing them. With the washing so much they get really dry. I try to keep my nails short too. That is how I see my hands every day.

Graf 2 worst teacher

When I think about the worst teacher I had. I really can't think about the worst one I only think about the best one I had. She was my fifth grade teacher. She was the best teacher I ever had. She would make things fun and put them it to a game. If she know you had a hard time in one area like spelling. She would work a little more with you on it. I came from a small school so you could take more time with a child. I will also say that is the only class I really learned a lot in. She was so good at making the class learning fun. I enjoyed how she put a lot of the learning into games. The best teacher I was so good she kind of blocked out the bad teacher I had. I can't really think of the worst teacher I had.
