Hi Readers! Welcome to Plainfield: A Student's Perspective.
Do you think the Plainfield Public Schools should return to some of their old practices? Old courses that they have offered? Well I completely agree with you. To improve some of the students work and their performance, let's go back and revive those old practices and courses. How about Let's Read? Let's Read was a one on one program for First Grade struggling readers.
I remember being in Let's Read for a little while as a 1st Grader, where we had to test before being placed in Let's Read or remaining as an "advanced or regular reader." I wasn't in the program for long, but I remember that it helped me read better, I also remember the Let's Read Teacher's name at the time, Miss Horner. Small things like this can help us achieve in reading more for our students. I know the district still has Read 180, so maybe they should bring back Let's Read. I don't think it should be just for First Graders, but for 2nd and 3rd graders also. With referral from the classroom teacher, they (2nd and 3rd Grade teachers) can refer their student (s) to the Let's Read Teacher for one on one evaluations on reading.
MY PERSPECTIVE: It may seem simple, but it may just help. It will reflect for the positive on standardized tests, quizzes, and tests. Reading is important, let's bring back an old practice that will help students achieve and reach for success. Share with me what are some old Practices that you think the District should go back to. You can leave comments or email them to me. Have a Great Wednesday!
COMING UP: Old Practices, bringing them back for success.

Updates, Updates, Updates
Hi Readers! School has kept me busy these past couple of days. How are all of you? At this time, I want to give my condolences to the Cadogan family. The 17-year old senior of Barack Obama Academy was shot dead last Thursday. He was well known by many.
I would also like to send some condolences to the family of "Duka." He was shot on Friday on West Third Street. He was well known also. We have got to make a change for the positive as a community. People talk about Plainfield and it's not positive. Let's change Plainfield back into what we want it to be, a peaceful place that we can call our own.
Ok, so I have been busy with my kindergartener's and planning with the Leadership Project. I am planning a good-bye party for them. I will be leaving the class after the semester is over. We will be making Gooey Goo. Gooey Goo is a fun Science Experiment for students in all grades. I am so sad to leave my little friends.
As a member of the Community "In" Schools Council, I will be attending our first event on Friday, November 19th at the Plainfield High School Cafeteria. This event is only INVITATION ONLY. I am sure we will have a positive outcome from this event. I am super excited and can't wait. The Leadership Project at Jefferson School Student Leaders will be assisting and helping with monitoring children.
MY PERSPECTIVE: I am really sad to be leaving my students. As I said before, as a community it is time for us to make a change for the better and the future of our Plainfield students. It's very heartbreaking for them to see the action of shootings or altercations when they are being dismissed from school. Let's prove those outsider's wrong and show them that Plainfield is not a bad place. Let's think positive and pray, pray, pray.
COMING UP: I haven't forgotten about your pictures. I will upload them soon!

"Yes I Will"
Hello Readers!
Just wanted to let you all know that I will not be discussing Crisis Management Plans. This week I will be talking about other things. Tomorrow I will be teaching Social Studies to the Kindergarteners. We will be going over the history of Thanksgiving.
After that, I will do a follow up activity. It will be the "Tree of Thanks." The students will take a leaf, and write what they are thankful for. Sounds good? If you want to do this activity with your students. "Thanksgiving is for giving Thanks" by Margaret Sutherland is the best book to use for that activity. It is reccomended for grades Preschool-2nd grade.
MY PERSPECTIVE: Tomorrow I will try to get pictures of our class caterpillar and the "Tree of Thanks." Tomorrow is going to be busy. Enjoy your Tuesday! Stay warm, another update coming soon
COMING UP: I've got your PICTURES!! Smile!!
