Need help with a written assignment, essay, or outline? As a college student myself, I know that it can be extremely difficult to keep up with your social life, academic success, and other commitments. That's what I'm for! I've been an honors student for my entire school career and, at age 18, already have an Associate's degree. My time as an English major in two years alone has sharpened my skills. I've been in AP classes, workshops, and even practicum classes that call for analytical study. I can write a paper on multiple research topics and curate numerous amounts of creative writing pieces and have been known for writing three-page papers within 90 minutes. THINGS TO KNOW: - I will reach out to you within 12 hours of receiving your order and ask for the requirements or outline of the assignment if you've been given it. This will give me an idea of what the instructor is looking for. - Each paper will be personally written to order and I ask that you order 3-6 days in advance so then I can write to the best of my ability. If this is not done, I can not guarantee that the assignment will be done in time nor if it will be written the best it could be. - Depending on the length of a paper, it may cost more to write. - If you want to send me writing samples of essays you've written in the past to see your style, then feel free. I will match it as well as I can. - I will need your email to send you a copy of your assignment(s) once I've completed it

Animal reports are a fun way to get young students excited about doing research. Today I wanted to show how I differentiate my animal research unit for kindergarten all the way up through fourth grade. This is my 3rd year of doing these projects and I am always so impressed with all of the great work my students produce. My K, 1st, and 2nd graders use the animal research templates found in my All About Animals Research Reports and we use the San Diego Zoo Kids website to do research on an animal. My 3rd and 4th graders use Google Slides to create a multi-media presentation. They do their research right in Google Slides or use Kiddle.co (Google owned, kid safe search website) to do their research. Read more to see how I differentiate these reports for each grade level. Kindergarten: For my kinders, this is a shared research project. I introduce the project, turn on the San Diego Zoo Kids website, and then open up to an animal that we will research together. For this project, my students and I chose the African Elephant to research together. I first had them watch the 3 minute video on African Elephants and then we made a list of things we learned on the board. Then I'd read some of the information listed on the webpage and students would help me add the important information to our list. When doing our research, I always want my students to be able to answer these 3 questions: What do they look like? What do they eat? Where do they live? From our list, students had a lot of information they could use in their reports. Here is a preview of some kindergarteners working on their reports. 1st Grade: In first grade this project usually takes 3 or 4 thirty minute class periods. On day one, I model how to do the research report. I show them how to navigate the San Diego Zoo website and how they can find and choose an animal to research. Together, we choose an animal that we want to research. We read the information together and then add it to our reports. I model how we can take the information and pull out 3 important facts. On days 2-3 the students get to do the project by themselves. They are really good at doing this since I spent the whole first class period modeling how to find information on the website. Most students will finish by the end of day 3, so on day 4 they can color their reports, write a non-fiction story on the back, and if they have time, they can choose another animal to research. 2nd Grade: In second grade, I repeat my 1st grade lesson, but we take it a step further. After we fill out our report, I then have my students open up to a new Word document and type a one page report on their animal. (Students use a size 28 font and leave a spot to draw a picture after they're done.) 3rd Grade: In third grade, we go straight to using Google Slides (you could also use PowerPoint or another similar program) to do the reports. I model how to design a cover page, how to get pictures (just click on Tools - Research and then you can search right in Google Slides), how to do research, and how to add their information into their slides. I spend some time talking about the basics of doing research such as using reliable sources, copyright, and putting the information in their own words. In all, this project takes me 4 thirty minute class periods. At the end, students get to stand up and share their presentations with the class. I love how 3rd graders feel so accomplished for learning how to use Google Slides so proficiently. Here are a couple examples of their cover pages. 4th Grade: My fourth grade classes do the same as the third graders, however they go a little bit deeper. To incorporate the 4th grade state standards, I have students choose a Utah native animal to research, and they have to include a slide about what animal adaptions their animal has to survive. In 4th grade, I teach the basics of writing a bibliography and they must cite their sources at the end. Here's a little peek of part of a 4th grader's project. I absolutely love doing these projects with my students. It's one of my very favorite lessons of the whole year! It really is a great way to meet a lot of important writing and technology standards in an easy to do, engaging research project. And best of all, STUDENTS LOVE IT! If you're interested in the animal report template that my K, 1st, and 2nd graders used, you can find it inside this Wild About Animal Research Report pack. I currently have this pack listed this as half off in my TPT store and will keep it on sale all week. If anyone is wondering what I do with my 5th and 6th graders, I plan to write up some details and post about them next. Hint: 5th graders do American History research reports and 6th grade does Space Reports. More about that later! I'd love to hear your thoughts about animal reports! Do your students love it as much as mine? Any tips and tricks you want to share? Please leave a comment and let us know.

This book is written as a part of a process of inquiry initiated by my desire to pursue community-based ethnographic research that is critical, collaborative, academically rigorous and socially responsive. I examined the practicum classroom as a site of struggle and activism and investigated some of the challenges faced by pre-service teacher candidates trying to teach controversial issues in their practicum. I am concerned with how they negotiate a critical, inclusionary space in the curriculum and some of the resulting consequences of taking up a critical teaching practice. The study was intrinsically participatory; a collaborative process, attempting to provide accounts from the emic or \"insider\" perspective. The study was based on the premise that emerging possibilities for change might best be revealed by closely examining the struggles and real life experiences of new teachers working from the margins of the educational setting and by focusing on the quality of the teaching-learning activities being negotiated and forged. The findings from this study will serve to inform both the pre-service and in-service programs in teacher education.
Meditation seems to become more and more important each year for both kids and adults. The negative effects of the Internet might be hurting everyone's sense of peace, but at least the good parts of the Internet are helping. They're making lots of wonderful ideas and materials available to help both kids and adults find meditations that can improve life in many ways. I've already published many mindfulness posts with free resources for kids and adults. Today, I want to share lots of free meditation printables for kids. I'm including sections on free printable breathing meditations, free printable finger labyrinths,

Digital Download for Your Research or Pleasure Butterick Fashion Magazine School Catalog 1936 This Digital Download gets you beautiful scans of pages from a rare 1936 "back to school" catalog. Most of the patterns are for college age women and are in misses sizes. This stunning sewing pattern catalog is stunning! It has 18 pages almost entirely in color. The pages are saved in the jpeg format to make them easy to use in your art projects. This pattern catalog is hard to find. It has gorgeous pictures of patterns for dresses, coats, graduation gowns, lingerie and more. This catalog is like a supplemental that came out during back to school sales. It was hardbound and taller than a regular magazine. It is 18 pages long. Based on the format, I think these were sent to fabric and pattern stores to help people shop for patterns, like a counter catalog. This digital e-book contains pages from the Butterick School Catalog from 1936. This catalog is almost all pattern pages with minimal articles that are directly related to the patterns in this catalog. We included all the pages in this catalog. The catalog was originally entered into copyright in 1936, it was not renewed in its 28th year and entered into the public domain in 1964. While the catalog and the pictures within are copyright free, these scans represent my work. You may use the pictures for your projects but you can not resell these scans.
