Our presentation is on relational verbs.  We had to write an essay, create three activities for the class, and create a PowerPoint to instruct students on what relational verbs are.

Every weekday morning at eight o'clock I wake up. I work for a school as a class size reduction tutor. I do not have to go into work until ten fifteen in the morning. Sometimes I consider eating my breakfast as more of a brunch , since I have work so late into the morning. As I ventured to get ready for the day, I put on my blue button downed portfolio shirt and dress pants. I went into my drawer and grabbed my brush. I brushed my hair and afterwards I put toothpaste onto my toothbrush to brush my teeth. I put my tea cup underneath my coffee making machine (which I can use to make hot water for my tea). I sipped on my cup of tea and enjoyed the taste of caffeine .  As I walked into my car, I knew today would be a great day! Vocabulary: class sized reduction tutor- a teacher who stays in the classroom with the head teacher because there are more than 27 students in the class. brunch- a breakfast meal you can eat later in the morning but before it would be considered lunchtime.

This past week at work I had the most amazing opportunity from my work institution ! I was offered a promotion ! This has been a privilege I have been working toward excessively. I was offered a position as a tutor or consultant teacher . My position is just below the title of teacher. My pay will be above what it was, and my hours would be cut from 8:30 to 3:30. My new hours would be from 9:30 to 2:30. This is perfect for me during the semester , as I will now have more hours across the week to work on graduate school assignments. I am feeling as if I am above the clouds. Now time to keep working diligently and hope to be promoted in the future from tutor to general education teacher. I am so thankful to God for blessing me with this new opportunity! Vocabulary: work institution- your job, a place where you work. promotion- A higher position at work. For example, an assistant manager may be promoted to full manager. privilege- a reward position- job tutor/ consultant

Earlier today was my first in person graduate level course at Molloy University . I was very ecstatic to begin my graduate studies at Molloy. Out of the four courses I chose to take this semester, this class is the only class that is not hybrid . I prefer being inside of a classroom, so it does not bother me. So far I have enjoyed the experience, although the online component was the one thing I was anxious about. After completing my class today, everything has been manageable, and there have not been any technological dilemmas . I was very relieved that my first day went smoothly and that there were no unexpected issues. Hopefully the remaining portion of the semester will continue to progress just as smoothly as today went. I am very thankful for the opportunity to learn from the professors here at Molloy. Vocabulary:  Graduate Level- Master's degree level of college Molloy University - A college located in New York Ecstatic- Excited or very happy Hybrid- Hal
