After learning about the care theory, we were able to discuss how important it is to show students care, giving them a reason to be invested in their schooling. When we show concern for our students we are also showing them respect, gaining respect and authority in return. Relationship with Caregivers Our first day in class was spent introducing ourselves to the group, talking about our breaks and telling everyone what our major was. We also talked about the talking stick, deciding that because we each had a lot going on outside of this class and in order to focus on being prepared for the discussion, we would just use an item that was with us. We decided that we would be sure to record all of our talking circle discussions on a google doc. We also talked about making sure that we would be prepared with the readings each week in order to have effective and constructive discussions. All of our group seemed to fall on a social spectrum from middle school (that is what we discussed most). Either people felt like they were very social (popular or even a "bully"), or that they felt kind of more like an outcast (transfer student, exiled group of friends). We discussed each of the different domains, some connecting more than others, but all having some sort of experience in each one. This week we were able to come together as a class and do a group talking circle where we discussed sex education and how our parents played a role in our sex education experiences. As a whole group, we agreed that this generation of parents are not really involved in their kids sexual education, which pushes their children to look to technology for the answers. This is not good because it makes them more prone to unreal expectations of sex. Parenting and Teaching She has six friends . LaTonya " She is in my homeroom. She is a very funny person. She is nice to me. Yullisa Camyrn Faisha Essence Meleny " She just got a boyfriend who she is so overprotective with. She has a bad attitude. "If a child is being bullied they need to speak up and tell an adult. Teachers and parents should talk to kids about being good friends." Week 1 Parents effects Week 5 "I love her. I do not see her all day, so I only spend 30min-1 hour with her. We talk about how our day went and how we felt about it. Diana is always supportive and pushes me to challenge myself. My favorite moment with her was going to the bulls game with her because we both like basketball and it was my first time ever being with her for more than an hour." Daily Routine Week 3 Week 7 Conclusion Favorites About Jerry Dad Introspective Somatic Communal Familial Intellectual Part II This week we started the circle off revisiting the question, Why does girls who start puberty earlier do better then girls who do not? The agreed upon answer was the idea that those girls who start puberty earlier tend to be more mature. Her body is developing faster hence her maturity level is as well. Often times girls that start puberty earlier hang with older people. When hanging with older people you will mature faster. We also discussed the Baumrind reading The Social Context of Child Maltreatment. The most interesting parts dealt with difficult children and the difference between responsive and demanding parenting. Difficult children are the children with difficult temperaments and one more likely to both elicit and be the target of aversive responses from parents. Knowing the difference between being responsive and demanding has an huge impact in a relationship with a difficult child. Gerardo "Jerry" Hernandez How many teachers do you have? 8 1.

In our lesson, we wanted all students to be able to be able to analyze primary sources, introducing our students to cave paintings and their meanings. Through our lesson, students would be able to understand the purpose of cave paintings and recognize their role in
