LAURELHILL

Heyy guys I hope you all are enjoying your internships! I'm working at Laurel Hill School and I am absolutely loving it. I am working with a first grade class. Currently, they are learning blends in words, addition, subtraction, high fluency words, and they are learning how to create poems such as list and color poems. It's so cute how eager each child is to finish and show off their poem...they are so proud of themselves! I am mainly working with a few children who are functioning very much below grade level. I help three children read, write, add, subtract and follow directions each and every day. I work with them independently and at times, in groups. It's very difficult in that I have to constantly keep pushing them to start and complete their work. Although its been tough, i've obviously learned a lot these past two weeks. Yesterday was a big day considering I read two books to the entire class. They loved it! It's great to see how interested they are in books and in reading. Today is my last day & we are celebrating later on. I'm most likely coming back next week and visiting the kids. Im glad I chose this internship, it taught me more than I thought it could.
