This is different to my culture because I down have to do the extra task in the morning I shower get dressed pack my bag and go to school; on the other hand, then need someone else to help get dressed.

Flannery O'Connor's "Good Country People" is a story told through the examination of the relationships between the four main characters. All of the characters have distinct feelings about the others, from misunderstanding to contempt. Both Joy-Hulga, the protagonist, and Manley Pointer, the antagonist, are multi-faceted characters. While all of the characters have different levels of complexity, Joy-Hulga and Manley Pointer are the deepest and the ones with the most obvious facades.
The book “The Acorn People” was written by Ron Jones and illustrated by Tom Parker. In 1976, a Banton Book Company published this book based off a true story. In “The Acorn People” one hundred and twenty disabled children went to a disability camp called Camp Wiggins. They didn’t let their disabilities take over by accomplishing different activities every day. These camper collected acorns to make acorn necklaces, hiked for six miles to reach the top of Look Out Mountain, learned how to cook, and created and filmed a play. I enjoyed this book and would recommend this book to other people/students to read. I believe this book displays that children with disabilities can accomplish anything they set their minds to. These children are a real inspiration. In reading this book, I realize some times we take things for granted that take less time or energy to complete.
Lavoie’s workshop provokes an emotional response. After viewing life through the eyes of a child with special needs, I cannot help but have a more significant understanding of what people, especially children with disabilities, must deal with every day, everywhere. During the many years that I have worked with children with various disabilities, I have encountered each of the topics discussed in Lavoie’s workshop and agree with the points he makes regarding children with disabilities. Particularly impacting the way I interact with my students are the topics concerning: anxiety, reading comprehension, and fairness.
The objective of this article is to inform the reader about the Apalachee Indians interaction with the French, English, and Spanish forces, as well to show the lifestyle of the Apalachee Indians, in which he uses mainly primary resources for his article. One of the many conflicts stated in this article started with the Spanish disapproval of some of the Apalachee customs like “Tribal dancing featuring scalps taken in raids” (Covington, 1972) and also the act of scalping were outlawed by the village council, in which causes a revolt that turned out unsuccessful for the Indians. Therefor the Spanish punishes all the Apalachee men as well all the ones that were loyal to the Spanish by forcing them to contribute in labor which “was hard work

With the thought of summer camp comes the recollection of cabins filled overstuffed with bunk beds, campfires, and mess hall meals with the loads of friends we met at the opening dance. Summer camp is a childhood memory for many of us, one that changed our youth, usually for the better. Such camp memories and activities still hold true today, even for children with disabilities. The inclusive classroom that takes place during the school year has now begun to carry over into the summer months at camps across the country, whether they be overnight for the whole summer, day camps or weekend camps.
Students in Japan ride the subway while an Australian girl rides her bike. Travel by boat is common in Peru and Egypt, but Canadians ride snowmobiles. Students in Sudan and Africa ride animals such as donkeys and horses, and in England and South Africa students walk to school. I would use this book with a first grade class. I would use this book at the beginning of a unit about school around the world. At the end of the book there is a map and word bank of all the different countries mentioned in the book. I would make copies of that map and ask the students to match the student to the
The Amish people have found encountered a struggle in this their culture that has led to people dropping out of the community to search for answers. The Amish come across rare genetic disorders that are nameless (foreign to doctors) and one known as mental retardation. These and others alike have been prevalent due to the evolutionary theory. The evolutionary theory helps us understand that genetic disease can become the norm in secluded populations through the founder effect and can help prevent future causes of genetic disease.
My first book was “The Only Lonely Panda” by Jonny Lambert. For the most part I followed the same format that I had planned for “If You Give a Moose a Muffin”. The group was smaller so we sat in a half moon shape with me in the front. Still keeping everything on their level. I started by asking the children about the cover and the pictures inside. We talked about pandas and who had seen pandas at the zoo. We also talked about how pandas eat bamboo and how they can be so big and eat leaves. Even though the group was smaller, I still double panned so all the students got a good look at the pictures. Throughout the story, I asked the student various questions about the different animal’s colors and why pandas would have a hard time dancing and
“The Short Bus: A Journey Beyond Normal” by Jonathan Mooney is the story of his journey around the U.S. in short bus nonetheless to meet with different children and their families who have faced challenges in school due to ADD, ADHD, Autism, and other learning disabilities. Jonathan Mooney himself faced the disability of Dyslexia and often had to deal with many challenges in school himself, but he appears to be one of the more fortunate ones, who was able to grow from his disability and ultimately get a degree in English. Needless to say, his book and journey lead the reader to question what really is “normal”, and how the views of this have caused the odds to be stacked against those who don’t fit the mold. Throughout, this story, for me personally however, this story gave several events that I found moving, and had the potential to influence my further work in education.
Abstract: Objecting to modern mainstream educational system, the Amish people have the unique eduction. They end their formal school learning at the eighth grade, but it does not mean that they do not care about educating their children. Conversely, the Amish attach great importance to education. Their leaning career throughout the life, and focus more on the Amish culture. What’s more, their unique education is suitable for them, and this is why they can survive in the complicated times with their own way.
There are many themes that occur and can be interpreted differently throughout the novel. The three main themes that stand out most are healing, communication, and relationships.
The bus is filled with children ranging from grades six to twelve. There is chatter surrounding me. People are discussing their hobbies, homework, and weekend plans. Imagine a girl squeezing through the aisle, while getting pushed to the left and to the right. She takes a seat and looks over her shoulder. There are three more students lounging next to her. One is blasting his music.Another is talking on her cell phone. The third person is shouting to his friend across the bus. As she hangs off her seat, she ponders about how convenient it would be to have an after school club. An after school activity that everyone would appreciate would be a book club because members can discuss the books, find unfamiliar genres to read, and establish new friendships.

At the Boy Scout summer camp I worked at every Wednesday we would put on Native American dances and an open camp for visitors to come in and watch. The problem with doing these shows and open camp is that not all of the families are able to go see some of the Scouts camps because they are disabled. At the camp we have a hill called “suicide hill” because of the length and the angle of this hill that leads to all of the campsites besides three of them. An improvement that would be for these events would to offer some kind of transportation so that disabled visitors can see their child or grandchild’s campsite. Also, more handicap parking will allow more visitors into the camp to watch the show and
