...Fabulous First Grade Case Study: Thinking Outside The Box to Manage Disruptions Mary Gajnos First Grade Teacher Keller Elementary Green Bay, Wisconsin December 10, 2013 This is a case study of one of my first graders who began the year with what one would call quite a reputation for disrupting the class. In this study I will try to show how I had to reflect, change, and implement other strategies/methods in order for him to coexist in our classroom. As I write this about student M, I have just come from having a very tough day with another student that we are currently looking into trying the same strategies. I say this because I am a person who reflects daily on the happenings of the day and put myself through the “could of, should of, would of” scenario. As never having done a case study, I hope to show that by just being true, fair, and realistic to a vision; one can try their best to better themselves as well as the classroom they are in charge of. As I started researching this I found Maslow’s theory that states, “Unproductive behavior is not viewed as an indication of a bad child but rather as a reaction to the frustration of one’s basic needs not being met.” Student M came to first grade after a very traumatic kindergarten experience. I was able to observe this and at times thought “What am I going to do next year?” M comes from a background of mom and dad both being incarcerated last year and being “raised” by Spanish speaking grandma. I saw him throw...

...this. Of the 20 players averaging 20-plus points since February 28, Leonard leads in field goal percentage (56.1%), turnovers (0.8 per game), and is the only player to average both 2.5-plus steals and 1.5-plus blocks. This across-the-board production was key to the Spurs' 4-0 record over the span and pushed Leonard to 6th in Yahoo! Fantasy rankings over the last two weeks. This increase in usage and health for Leonard has caused Danny Green's tremendous season to dip. He posted only 11.8 points, 2.5 3s, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 blocks over his last four games. Leonard is surging at the perfect time for fantasy owners and the Spurs, who are making a push up the Western Conference standings. Don't look now, but the champs are just 3.5 games out of the third seed heading into Week...

...Louis Vuitton is known for using high quality raw materials in all of its products, the company has an empowering position to observe its products quality by marketing them through its own stores all over the world . Since the founding, the products are made by hand which differentiate the brand among its competitors in the industry. Before 2005, it took 20 to 30 craftsmen to put together each Louis Vuitton bag. Over the course of about eight days, separate workers would sew together leather panels, glue in linings and attach handles. For years the company paid far more attention to product design, craftsmanship and image than to the mechanics of keeping their stores stocked. With help from management consultants at McKinsey & Co., Vuitton set out to make its manufacturing process more flexible, borrowing techniques from car makers companies. Today, clusters of six to 12 workers, each of them performing several tasks, make LV-logo bags in a single day. The new settings improved company's production and the sales rose to 9% from the previous method of manufacturing. The reorganization extended beyond the factory floor. A distribution center in France used to send products directly to Vuitton's stores around the world. Now, the company is building a global distribution hub outside of Paris that will ship to six regional distribution centers: two in Japan, two elsewhere in Asia, one in the U.S. and one near Paris for European orders. Within a week of a product launch, stores...

...Grocery Shopping Walking through a grocery store you can find all different sorts of people. There’s the people that only need a few things and use a basket accordingly, there’s the people that have a smaller list and are not expecting to buy a lot but somehow when they get to the check out their cart is overflowing, or there’s always the person with three carts generously filled. It is the people that fill the baskets, carts and occasionally their own arms that keep a grocery store in business. Because of this, most employees are extremely polite and helpful when it comes to the customers; but that does not stop the customers from being rude not only to each other but to employees as well. The customers who need only a few things are often the rudest shoppers. Normally this is due to the fact that they are in a hurry. It seems as though they think the whole grocery store revolves around them and their few items. They weave in and out of other shoppers and cut off an employee that is trying to help another customer. When these shoppers need help finding something they are often demanding, impatient, and just plain rude. They tap their foot while an employee tries to find what they are looking, and if the employee comes back with bad news such as: they no longer carry that item, they are currently out of that item, or even they never had that item, that’s when the adult who should be mature and understanding throws a tantrum fit. They yell at the employee and demand to...

...course of study that required three years to complete; however, in 1912 the amount of years required was increased to four years. Admissions & Requirements: With an acceptance rate of less than 31.3%, California Polytechnic University - San Luis Obispo is the most selective California State University. Similar to many colleges, Cal Poly SLO requires students to have completed the A-G requirements in high school in order to be considered for acceptance. In addition, applicants must maintain a minimum of a 2.0 grade point average in all A-G classes. In regards to testing, Cal Poly mandates that applicants take either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT by December and have the official scores sent to them. The writing portion for the ACT is optional but is highly recommended. Cal Poly does not require applicants to take SAT subject tests, but certain programs and majors recommend applicants to take the ones related to that specific major such as computer engineering. The majority of students who get accepted into Cal Poly have at least a B+ average, an SAT score above 1700, and an ACT composite score of 24 or higher.

...alone is responsible first for their academic success. An individual alone is responsible first for their academic success because it cannot be achieved as a group, cannot be attained by assigning responsibility to other parties, and must be learned and not taught. II. The relationship between how responsible you are, and your college success are apparent in many ways. A good strategy is to follow the syllabus and set up a game plan or schedule. Following an agenda will help you spread out your workload over the week, it will show that you are on the right track and is a great indicator of how reliable you are. One of the worst traits that many people possess is procrastination. According to “California Polytechnic State University, Cal Poly Academic Skill Center” (n.d.) “The procrastinator is often remarkably optimistic about his ability to complete a task on a tight deadline; usually by expressions of reassurance that everything is under control. III. The plan I have for practicing this is to first start using personal responsibility at home. I can do this by talking to my boyfriend, letting him know what I have done no matter if it is right or wrong. After I have started that, then I think I will be more prone to using this technique more at school. Time management will also play into effect in my plan because without learning how to space things out, I will never be able to get anything done. IV. In conclusion, it is beneficial to have personal responsibility...

...California’s public institutions who are enrolled in a viticulture or enology program to fully experience what they have made as part of their curriculum. The main concern opposing this bill is that minors under 21 are not allowed to consume alcohol and by allowing students to do so at an earlier age may encourage underage drinking. Despite the concerns, this law received wide recognition among supporters such as the California Association of Winegrape Growers, California Craft Brewers Association, Family Winemakers of California, University of California and California State University. This bill has also been approved by the faculty in California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo to align with our motto of “Learn by Doing”. Cal Poly and UC Davis are major supporters behind this law simply because of this will allow students to have the same educational opportunities as students from others states (that exempt students from the legal-age statutes) and compete in the thriving wine and beer industries. In fact, there are no committees or organizations that oppose this bill. Presenting these issues from the perspective of different ethical theories will provide better insight as to how this law positively impacts our students, our faculty, and ultimately our wine industry. Under the Utilitarian Theory of Ethics stated...

...at that point many people considered his political career to be over. Brown travel abroad and returned back to California serving as a Chairman of the Democratic Party from 1989-1991 then he declined to run for Senate again in 1992.

...20th Century Baseball In 1865 towards the end of the American civil war, U.S. military officer, Abner Doubleday, had decided to draw up a sketch of a diamond shaped field and wrote up some simple rules and a few days later put his ideas to live use. He had just invented the greatest game of all time. Baseball (baseballalmanac.com). Six years later, what was once a game for military men had now started to become the national pastime. On May 4, 1871, the very first professional game was played. At this time, there was only one league, the National Association of Baseball Players. On this day, the Cleveland Forest Citys would take on the Fort Wayne Kekiongas where Fort Wayne would go on to win 2-0 over Cleveland. With only about 500 people in attendance, the game lasted for a little more than two hours as Kekiongas pitcher, Bobby Mathews, would make history as the very first pitcher to have a win on his record throw the first shutout game as Mathews went on later in the year to be tied as one of the league leaders in shutouts. In 1876, the National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs was organized, but today we simplified the name just to the National League (Mckissack 12). Throughout the rest of the late 1800’s, baseball massively grew in popularity as all-stars were being born. Baseball has a long and incredible history, especially in the twentieth- century, with events such as the first night game in 1935, the first World Series in 1903, and Babe Ruth’s “Called Shot?” home...
