 * 3 More Weeks of Internship to Go!**




 * Monday, November 15, 2010**

Pretty eventful day around Bonneville today. I learned procedures that take place when there is a mandatory lockdown ordered by the Police Dept.

Ms. Wright and I co-taught the beginning lesson for Topic 7 in 5th grade Math. We taught the students factor pairs, divisibility, and divisibility rules. We were also able to conduct a Daily Review in the beginning, and a Quick Check at the end of class as an Exit Slip.

Also, starting tomorrow, I will begin job shadowing Ms. Tammy Banko, the other Resource Teacher :)

1st day job shadowing with Ms. Tammy Banko (other SLD Resource Teacher). I got her schedule which is similar to Ms. Wright except she has 2 less classes but longer periods of time with her students. She teaches Reading, Writing, and Math to higher elementary grades (4th & 5th) and just a couple of 2nd graders. I haven't been teaching FCAT Writing this semester because Ms. Wright doesnt teach that. However, I am familiar with the format and the grading. Besides, I LOVE Writing! The 4th & 5th graders are focusing on Narrative and Expository Writing for FCAT.

Ms. Banko has one class where she 'pushes in' and the rest, the kids come to her class or she picks them up from the down the hall.

I started memorizing the students name and wasted no time jumping in and helping students.


 * Wednesday, November 17, 2010** Fall Festival and Teach In!



The Kindergarteners had their Fall Festival today! They all practiced and performed a few songs complete with Pilgrim and Indian costumes in the school's courtyard infront of their parents and teachers. It was so nice to see the Kindergarteners I teach do an exciting event for the school and for their parents.

Later that day, we had 'Teach In' all over the school where different people in their careers took time to teach and tell kids what is it that they love and do for a living. We had a nurse, an accountant, a book author, and even Knightro and the UCF Cheerleaders!

Today was another exciting day! The whole school celebrated winning the Avery Denison Give Back to Schools contest (www.averydenisongivebacktoschooltoschools.com ). Our school won $10,000 worth of school supplies! So they brought in 1,400 lbs of boxes stuff with school supplies! We had a whole program for it. The students and teachers were so excited! We showed them the true Bulldog Spirit and Tradition of Excellence!

What a busy week it has been. All the celebrations at school, job shadowing Ms. Banko, and helping her pack her things and sort out the things she's leaving. She threw a little popcorn and cookie party for the kids. They will miss her. I made sure that I had a to do list of things I will need to get ready for the last 2 weeks of my internship and teaching Ms. Banko's class.
