=Assignment: My problem child= Its just been 3 weeks since I've taken over this class, but this child is known all over the school. Nick is 6 years old and he is such a cute child, but he's got some serious issues. One of them in my humble opinion is that he is very stubborn. He has difficult in transitioning. Even the simplest ones from one area to another. He will simple just sit or lay down on the floor and wouldn't want to move. When an adult tries to approach him, he bits, pinches, squeezes and etc.He is a strong boy. Another problem of his own is that he get attached to objects (books, diapers, etc). It is difficult to get him focused and do even few minutes work.


 * Hopes and Dreams**

In our classroom we have hopes and dreams that we plan to reach during the this academic year. These hopes and dreams will enable us to establish guidelines of how we will work together as a community of learners.. //1. “My hope for this class is that we learn to respect each other..”// //2. “My hope is that we discover our gifts and talent. And that each of us participates in opportunities to nurture them.”// //3. “My dream is that all of you will actively engage in learning.”//

Article summary: As a former cabin crew, I’m always intrigued by airplanes, technical and emergency landings and even crashes. The lack of communication, precisely the fear of communication has been already the cause for several plane crashes. The article summarise the possible reasons for the tragic landing of Asiana Airlines, which in this case its not only one thing, as Tom Anthony, director of the aviation safety program at the University of Southern California, says. For every pilot good time management, communication and knowledge of instruments in very important. These three were exactly what pilot Lee was missing during that flight. The article describes the approach of the Asiana Flight 214, a crucial time, when the pilot made serious mistakes and counted on the autopilot system instead of taking over control. The articles also talks about the cockpit culture “of not acknowledging weakness and of deferring to a higher-ranking colleague”. The last but not least of the mistakes was the very poor knowledge and experience of Boeing 777 control system.

List the procedure for one of the routines identified above. (Insert the routine you developed in your group and listed on your poster.
