hands-on

I have always been a hands-on type of learner. All throughout school, I would always ask the teachers to come to my desks of I had a question. I don't know what it is, but I just learn better when I have visuals. So sometime, I don't always agree with all the tehnology that been brought into the classrooms. Don't get me wrong, if the teacher is able to bring in technology without losing his/her students, then more power to them. I just feel that we shouldn't let technology take over everything that is been brought into education over the years. Having said that, I will most like be using some of this technolog in my classroom, but I will make sure that I am still teaching, and working hands on with the students that need it.

WHAT KIND OF LEARNER ARE YOU?

Our dogs

Buster about 5 months old (Go Gators)

Buster and Mocha

Mocha

We have a chihuahua named Mocha(2 yrs), and a dauschund named buster(8 months). They both have their own personalities. Mocha is a talked, she will sit there and bounce her front half of her body and whine and bark, it is the cutest thing. While buster is a crazy dauschund!! He's so long and floppy, so he will just plop down anywhere. He loves to stand up on his back legs and then just fall forward. His mom breeds chihuahuas and that is where he got Mocha. And trust me, we have a house full of dogs. We have 4 more chihuahuas in the house. There is Piper (she's the momma and she's about 4 or 5 years old) There's Cody (he's the old man, hes 15 years old), and then there's Nip Nip (he's known as the stud, and he's 3 years old) and then there's Wee Man (he's a year) He got his name because he almost died, My mother in law had to bottle feed him and take care of him like a real baby, because he was the runt, he had a cleft palate and wasn't able to drink or eat properly. He is a tiny thing too!! All these dogs are like real people. Piper will scratch you if she wants to be loved, Cody will scratch the blankets and move around like crazy to make his bed, Wee-Man has the loudest bark of them all, and Nip Nip is a little skiddish, ( he was attacked). This house wouldn't be the same without any of these dogs, they are truely a riot.

Annoying sounds

Everybody has certain sounds that bother them. For some people it's scraping a fork against a plate (which don't get me wrong, bothers me too) , lifting a straw in and out of a fast food cup, when it scrapes against the plastic lid it makes this awful noise. And for some people, like my fiance, it's as simple as pulling a part a cotton ball next to his ear (apparently it goes right through him.)

Well for me, it's the sound that people make when they chew with their mouth open, when people chew gum like a cow and the sound that dogs make when they constantly like their paws...I don't know why they bother me, I think it's because all-in-all they sound alike.
