Reflecting on my internship as a whole I would say that what went really well has been my mentor. She has been absolutely amazing. She has answered every single question I’ve had and helped me throughout the entire month of me learning. She has taught me to be amazingly patient and I could not have picked a better mentor. One thing I would have done differently was when I accidentally gave one of the kids a hard time about the number of projects he had finished but he only had to do a certain amount because he goes to another class for a lot of the day. What has really stood out to me has been that there are over thirty kids in every classroom in grades four and above. It’s very hard to get all the kids to settle down when there are so many and when Mrs. Vick’s and Mrs. Fields’s classes collaborate there just under seventy kids which is extremely hard to keep under control but they are able to do it which is amazing to me. Another thing that has really stood out to me is that all the kids in every single grade have an Ipad. This has stood out to me because it’s such an amazing tool for learning but I would have never thought the school district would pay for over a thousand Ipads (plus teachers). Overall I’ve had an amazing time and am super happy that I’ve been able to be here.
