Early Childhood: The Worksheets
Elizabeth Garvey, a second-year teacher at Fitzgerald Elementary School, enjoys teaching kindergarten because the children are eager to learn new things and approach each new experience with excitement. As with any kindergarten class, it is typical for some students to have trouble adjusting to the structured, academic environment of elementary school. Mrs. Garvey tries to balance formal instruction with opportunities for social interaction and play. This year seems especially challenging, as she has a large class of 21 students with diverse backgrounds. Three students are English language learners, many students have had no preschool experience, and there are large disparities in readiness skills among the children.
After the morning meetingduring which Mrs. Garvey and the children go over the date, the days weather, the lunch count, and any special news or eventsshe begins a lesson on math concepts that includes a game of Numbers I Spy. After the group lesson, the children return to their seats to complete some worksheets. Mrs. Garvey gives them instructions to match digits on the left side of the page to sets of objects on the right side of the page. She shows them how to complete the first one, drawing a line from the number 5 to the five hats. When youre finished, use the color key at the bottom of the page to color the sets of objects, Mrs. Garvey says, pointing to the bottom of the page.
As the children begin working, Mrs. Garvey walks around the room to check on their progress. She notices Melissa coloring instead of doing the worksheet. Melissa, why havent you started your math sheet? whispers Mrs. Garvey.
I cant do it, replies Melissa, slouching in her chair.
I know you can do it if you just try, says Mrs. Garvey with a reassuring smile. Melissa tends to need a little extra coaxing and then ends up doing fine work. Ill come back and check on you.
Melissa has been raised by her grandmother since she was a year old. From the age of 3, she has attended Head Start, a preschool program for economically disadvantaged children. Her academic skills are steadily improving, but she still lacks confidence in her abilities.
As Mrs. Garvey continues moving around the room, she notices Emanuel, Kristina, and Martin at the building center, playing with Legos. She approaches the children and says, Now is not the time for building.
But were already done with our math sheets! exclaims Martin. I already know numbers and adding, so I dont need to do baby worksheets. My mom says Im smart at math.
Yes, I know you three are good at doing math, Mrs. Garvey says. Show me your worksheets so I can check to see if they are correct and neatly colored, and then you can play with the blocks while the others finish.
Because Mrs. Garvey needs to follow the districts curriculum, she often lets advanced students play while others finish their work. Shes not sure whether their playing affects other students motivation, though. She always has a few students who want to rush through their work so they can play as well.
Mrs. Garvey walks past the next table and says, Nice work, Alannah and Mahiro! She then stops at Kayvon and leans over his shoulder, saying, The seven fish dont go with that number, Kayvon. Its this one. Count them with me.
Tugging at her shirt is Claire. Claire is anxiously waiting for Mrs. Garvey to check her answers, as she does with all her work, even art projects. Claire never wants to get anything wrong.
Mrs. Garvey, Im done with the numbers. Are they all right? I want to color the pictures now, says Claire. Mrs. Garvey glances at the sheet and gives her a nod. Everyone looks like theyre doing fine, she thinks as she goes back to check on Melissa and Kayvon.

There are few individuals in the world who have not been impacted by Coronavirus (COVID-19). While some individuals may experience mild symptoms with COVID-19, such as a cough and fever, others may become severely ill and require hospitalization. While individuals over the age of 60 and those with pre-existing conditions are at an increased risk of developing serious illness, COVID-19 can affect anyone.
For your initial post, research coronaviruses and then share what you learn about how a typical coronavirus compares to COVID-19.

For the next four weeks, you will be working on a single essay. In this essay you will select an important issue or problem, research this issue, and then propose a solution. Each individual project will take you through the writing process from the question that first inspired your research to your final draft in phase 5.

The collapse of the housing market
The crisis of American Education
The college football playoff system (BCS vs. Playoffs)
Increasing use of Medical Marijuana
Low turnout of American voters
Once you have decided on your topic, formulate a research question to narrow it. Ask yourself: what is the specific problem you will be writing about and what is the solution to that problem? Performing research will help you to narrow your topic and find outside sources which will support your proposed solution. For this assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography of the outside sources that you find.
What is an annotated bibliography?
An annotated bibliography is a brief list of the sources you plan to use in your research paper. This list is presented in APA formatting. You will present the source and then include a paragraph that explains what it is about, how it relates to your topic, and why it is important to your paper.
To create your annotated bibliography:
Choose 3 to 5 outside sources, two of which must be from the CTU Library. Create an APA formatted reference list of these sources. Finally, write one paragraph for each source describing the source, how it relates to your topic, and how it will help you write your paper.
Your Individual Project should contain the following:
A properly formatted reference page with 3 – 5 reliable sources
Proper in text citations
In addition to these structural guidelines your individual project should also contain the following:
A cover page
Headers
