My first day as an intern

 As my first day as an intern at GRACE HARDEMAN ELEMENTARY I wore my BCTAL Education and training polo with blue jeans. It was such an amazing feeling to be able to meet my mentor, she got all happy to see me and gave out such a positive vibe. When i first walked in to the room all the 1st grade kids got so excited to see me.
  Introducing myself as their intern was pretty simple since they were all good audience.
  We started off with the math centers and mrs. Gygi put me with one student who was having trouble focusing, I showed her different ways of solving the equations and I felt pretty satisfyed with her reaction when she could finally solve it herself.
I'm really looking forward to seeing them again and being part of their succcess.

What Would I Do?

 In scenario 2 : You are at your EAT field site.  Although you know you are supposed to have your phone put away at your field site, you check it and see that you have a message from another intern in your class.  He said that he had an early dismissal and left the field site campus just a little early, but when he did, he forgot to sign out.  You think this is a bit strange because you never saw him ride the bus to your field site in the first place, but you agree to sign him in and out because you want to let him know he can trust you.  After all, Mrs. Meddlesome, your EAT teacher, stressed that it is important to establish relationships with your students and others with whom you work.

  
If I was in this situation I would let Mrs. Meddlesome know before signing him in and out. I would also question him on how he got there, and I would let him know that I couldn't cover for him.

KINDNESS Is COOLER

Written By Margery Cuyler

When Mrs.Ruler asks five of her Kindergarteners to miss recess, She's got a plan. She's about to teach a new 'Golden' Rule: KINDNESS IS COOL! Soon the whole class starts making good decisions that their bulletin board barely fits in their classroom. By cleaning the table after dinner to helping the elderly, one kindergarten class is proving that kids really can make a difference.


This is actually a great Children's book with a really good message to it. The appropriate grade for this book is for 1st graders.

A keyword from this book that would grab the students attention would be 'Cooler' and the way they use it. Of course this word means that more people will like you, but the way she used made the students actually want to do something about it.

An activity I would do is make the students make a list of what they could do throughout the day to help others.
