HAPPY BEING IRISH DAY!

Saint pattys day is one of my most favorite holidays! I get to celebrate my heritage and where i come from. This is something that is important to keep in mind being a teacher. There is such a vast amount of cultures that are now in schools and we need  to make sure that every single one is recognized and there cultures, traditions, and heritage is kept in mind and celebrated. We must respect all students and try to understand where they come from. Educating students on other cultures is a hug part of building respect in students for their peers who may be different from themselves.

LIVING V. NONLIVING THINGS!

Going through the 5 kingdoms has really shown me a lot of characteristics or living things, from their cell structure. Where they live and can not live. Everything that they need to survive, from oxygen to other gases, to nutrients. That nutrients can even be dead animals or everyday food. I learned about how they reproduce sexually and asexually. There are soo many charactieristics of the millions of living species on this planet. Of course you can not  teach your students every single one, but they should understand some of the basic components that they need to survive. 

All living things must get energy from their environment, show movement, breathe, remove waste, grow, react to the environment, and reproduce

 

Living things, as the name suggests, are lively and active. They are made up of cells; exhibit characteristics of life, like growth, movement, reproduction, response to stimuli; they evolve, and require energy for daily activities. Some of the daily life examples of living things around us are human beings, animals, plants and micro organisms.

Non-livings things do not exhibit any characteristics of life. They do not grow, respire, need energy, move, reproduce, evolve, or maintain homeostasis. These things are made up of non-living materials. Some examples of non-living things are stones, paper, electronic goods, books, buildings, and automobiles.
