Placement 2: Third Grade
From the end of September through Thanksgiving break I student-taught in Mary Kate Kenney's 3rd grade classroom. I was fortunate to be able to co-teach alongside such a talented and experienced teacher. During my 3 weeks solo teaching I learned very quickly about how to sense from students when they need to change gears and move around the classroom. I also got valuable experience with delivering and grading assessments, as well as analyzing assessment data to inform instruction. From Mrs. Kenney I learned how to stand my ground and own my place as a teacher during cases of student misbehavior. I feel much more confident in my role as a teacher thanks to this invaluable experience.
The following is a copy of the letter that I sent home to the parents of my 3rd grade class. It explains a bit about myself and what I did in the classroom. Scroll down for the Spanish translation.
