My Precept and Acrostic Poem

For the last month, we were told to read Wonder by R.J Palacio. This book revolves around kindness and the positivity it brings to those around you. In this book, there is a precept the characters create, so here is mine.




Also in our EAT Book Club, we analyze the characters in the book and how that person is characterized in the book.  This is my Acrostic Poem for Justin.

Jittery when it came to reciting for the play and meeting Via's parents

Understands Via's problems and why the universe is indifferent to Auggie

Stands up for Auggie's friend, Jack, when Julian and his posse were taunting him for being friends with Auggie

Talented for knowing how to play violin and the fiddle

Independent

No one from his family really pays attention to him because his parents are divorced and obsessed with work.

Hello! Being a second-year student in EAT has it perks when you have dreamed of becoming a teacher. Interning at an elementary school is nostalgic, but that is not what I'm going to be talking about today. Today I will be talking about the initiative and how it is seen in a classroom. My teacher has encouraged us to step out of our bubble of coziness and lead others. Here is our prompt that I will be answering to. Initiative means to be independent and take charge without having an adult or someone else telling you to do something. Here are 10 ways to show initiative in a classroom as a teacher. Reading out loud to students when they need help Ask students to students when they are in working on individual work to see if they are grasping on the lesson correctly.
