2nd week of internship

This week has been great i loved it. Monday and Tuesday were the same thing but on Wednesday the 5th and 6th grades performed a theatrical performance of the movie Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory #1 & 2. the main actress was only in 5th grade and she gave me the chills wen she sang. She did a great job learning a lot of lines. That was my favorite day of the week. This week I would have 2 say has been the busiest week so far i had to do a lot of copying papers correcting homework putting work in the kids cubbies. bring things off the wall that were kids work and put it in there working portfolio. THE KIDS HAVE INSPIRED me to become a kindergarten teacher, I absolutely love working wit young kids. my cohort came to watch what I do at my internship but she came a little to late and didn't get to see me teach the class but i would love for the second visit to have a few other teachers go and watch me teach the class.

first week of Internship

Monday 5.17.10 was the first actual day of my Internship.
From Monday through Thursday pretty much its the same routine everyday for the kindergartners.I'm glad i had been chosen to work with the kindergarten kids they are very intelligent.
I get to my intern at 8:00 everyday but class start at 8:30 and i have my own basket full of work that i have to do for the kids but i have fun doing the work because i have to do samples for them. I try to finish it before the kids come to class so i can help my mentor teach the class to get a better understanding of what she has to put up with everyday. i like to teach the class they are very good listeners but its funny how they listen 2 me but not to my mentor. They come in and sit on the carpet and are ready to learn. what I have recently noticed was that the kids in the afternoon that are 20 new students.
the first three hours are the same just say the pledge of allegiance, sing a few songs for instants , count to one hundred,they have centers and there all different activity's they rotate everyday. kids that i work with is on the writing or reading books. there supper smart. they have a little break for about 15 to 20 minutes to eat snacks play in the playground or whatever they want. once its time to get back to class the whole routine changes they learn math and i have a group of kids i work with and they play different activitys.

First Day on Interns

I interned at an Elementary school called Hedenkamp Elementary. My first day at intern was a great day. Once I got there I was introduced to the kinder garden kids I watched my mentor teach the class and watch her routine for everyday while I was waiting for the kids to go on break my mentor and went to get lunch in the staff kitchen we discuses my projects and how schedules are going to work also, what I will be doing for the 4 weeks in there. My project for this intern will be preparing their graduation making flyers pretty much doing everything.

The kids get in at 8:30 and get out at 12:00 then my other mentor because there are to teachers in one class teaches at different times one teaches from 8:30-12:05 and my other mentor teaches with a new set of 20 students from 11:15 to 3:00. Once I get comfortable with the everyday routine.
