Hi everyone. My name is Roxanne Wright and this is my education blog. I am a 22 year old licensed preschool teacher, who is currently studying Elementary Education and Theater in college. I have worked as an Arts & Crafts Director, Children's Theater Director, and an Environmental Educator. This blog is full of my educational dreams, inspirations, and tips. I would love advice from parents and educators so I can one day become the world's best teacher. Thank you so much.

This Ad Has a Secret Anti-Abuse Message That Only Kids Can See
Published on Apr 24, 2013
Título: Sólo para niños
ANAR Foundation manages in Spain the european unique phone number 116 111, to attend children and teenagers under a risk situation. On this telephone number, only for minors, they can find the help they need in a totally anonymous and confidential way. But, how can we get our message to a child abuse victim, even when they are accompanied by their aggressor?
Knowing the average height for adults and children under 10,GREY has created two different messages. Using an outdoor lenticular we show adults an awareness message, while children see a message where we offer them our help and show them the telephone number. A message only for children.
This is amazing!
- “I will pay attention when Ms. Wright teaches.”
- “I will be supportive about her mistakes.”
- “I will raise my hand before I speak.”
- “I will listen and watch.”
- “I will listen carefully.”
- “I will not talk when Ms. Wright talks.”
- “I will be glad that she is teaching.”
- “I will make a good seat choice.”
- “I will work hard.”
- “I will raise my hand a lot.”
- “I will help Ms. Wright if she needs it.”
- “I will say, ‘Good job Ms. Wright!’”
- “I will be supportive if she makes a mistake.”
- “I will follow classroom rules.”
- “I will follow Ms. Wright’s directions.”
- “I will act like Ms. Wright is Ms. H.”
- “I will be encouraging when Ms. Wright makes mistakes.”
- “I will follow the rules.”
It was really cute and thoughtful for them to say all of these things, but do they really think I am going to make THAT many mistakes? Anyway on I go to prepare for tomorrow.

Today was an extremely long day and I am exhausted. I taught all morning and then I had two classes to go to at night. It’s over though and now I get to go to bed!
The classes were very interesting though.
In my first class we had a P.E. teacher come in and explain to us the importance of integrating movement into the classroom environment. Due to the fact that I grew up with ADHD I have always been aware that students need to move, but the teacher provided concrete data to back up her points, which I found interesting. Below is an image of the brain taking a test. The first brain scan is of a student who has not physically moved and the second is of a students brain taking the same test after having walked for 20 min. Personally I find this information fascinating.
The P.E. teacher also recommended several books and materials to my fellow classmates and myself. Here are a few of her suggestions.

My second class was with my all time favorite professor who was teaching us about working with students who have special needs. She had us read this amazing book for class:
I highly recommend this book for all parents and educators. In my opinion this book will benefit you even if you don’t work specifically with explosive children.
My professor also recommended we read the book: 
I ordered it on Amazon and will write a review of it when I get a chance.
Anyway I am off to bed now. Sweet dreams everyone. Remember tomorrow is Friday, so there is only one more day until the weekend.
Love,
Roxy
My students are reading a spectacular book called, “Talking Walls” by Margy Burns Knight. It is about famous walls from all over the world. I am teaching my students about the Berlin Wall tomorrow. If you have any stories appropriate for 3rd graders please let me know.
Thanks!?

Oh and here is a picture of me in High School at the Berlin Wall! I signed it too!
People give me a lot of shit for doing this, but I really feel that way. What do you think? Am I crossing a line when I say this to my friends?
