An Internship As A Student Instructor At Sprout Up

The first activity we would work on would be sentence segmentation where I casually work with the student on breaking down a sentence into words. This could be done by slowly reading a sentence, or having other students reading, and have students either clap for each word or hold their hands up and add one finger

I try to make the activity as fun as possible in a way that evolves the teachers plan but also suits my teaching style and methods. I usually try to turn all activates whether it be numeracy, literacy or science into a group activity so each child

In my experience over my current internship at Aiken Elementary School this year has been very helpful. Mentoring a professional teacher gave me the experience of being able to mentor children. I am well prepared to make kindergarten students learn the alphabet and to help them build

Two or three mini-lesson ideas I have for beginning the year are that I have not implemented with teachers/students before are:

In the module for week two there were several ideas that you can implement in your classroom. For instance you could try the walk and talk discussion strategy. This strategy simply means that the students read a selected piece of literature and have a small-group discussion about teacher-created topics posted around the room. The resources/idea for this strategy includes identifying main ideas and develop 4-5 questions pertaining to the ideas. Afterword’s you type up questions to be printed out and placed around the room. You then should secure large sheets of butcher paper or whiteboard space for the students to write down the groups’ ideas, once this task is completed make sure you have supplied each group with dry erase or regular felt tip pens.

From this experience I can say that I did also acquire new skills on how to better manage my time when I am working with time consuming work. My multi-tasking skills have improved and I was also able to learn how to organize tasks in such a way so that it is completed in an efficient manner that represents quality work. I also realized that I am quick to adapt to changes in the work environment and I pick up really quickly on new tasks that I am taught to complete. From my whole internship what I value the most is two things. The new skills I was able to better and the relationship that resulted between the managers I worked for. Working with Beverly was very beneficial, she is very helpful in helping you with anything you do not understand. By getting the chance to work with Beverly I was able to network out which is very helpful. I would also recommend this experience to others because it is helpful and will give you an idea of what you want to pursue. From this experience I have come to the conclusion on what interests me even more in the healthcare field and what I would like to

Have the teacher have at least one conversation with each child, have the child express themselves on the topic that is getting discussed.

Science activities are fun to learn and some activities can be messy. I would bring each child a small pumpkin. I would then give each child a paper that says “My pumpkin will float or sink, my pumpkin did float or sink.” The child will circle what they think the pumpkin will do then place the pumpkin in the water table to see. The second activity will be for me to take the insides of the pumpkin out and place it in a Ziploc bag and add water to make a sensory bag for each child.

I did my internship at the Sprouts Farmers Market’s kitchen. My responsibilities were to make cut veggies for the salads, sandwiches/panini, cut fruits and veggies for the lunch boxes, make tune salad, help customers with what they need like making them sandwiches and slice meat and cheese for them, and cleaning. Sprouts was not my first chose, but I wanted to work there because I wanted to get to know the people that worked there and I wanted to know how they make their meals.

The teachers will be able to show the students how to do the activity, showing them how they ask and respond to the questions After demonstrating the activity, the teachers can let the students begin. Since there are six ‘rows’ of desks I think having one teacher per row would work perfectly. Then the last teacher can circulate around the classroom and make sure everyone is on task. To get the student’s attention, I noticed the loud claps help them quiet down. After the class settles down, one teacher could ask for a volunteer or choose a student and have them share what their partner/group member likes.

Prior to this activity during inside time I introduced the children to the words and objects. For instance, the day prior we talked about weather, snow, and we made ice cubes together. As we made them we talked about what we observe. My co-teacher took picture as we conducted this activity. I asked the children open-ended questions and helped them connect what they already know about ice and snow. I modeled language for young children and used every moment as a teachable moment. For instance, if a child pointed to the cup after he poured food coloring it. I replied, “Yes, the water is turning red.” “Why do you think that happened?” As the children replied I modeled language, expanded, extended, and used repetition. For instance, T.A. held the ice cube in her hand and said,

I would bring things to the classroom that grab children's attention and helps them learn. Lev Vygotsky is talked about for “zone of proximal educational development.” He believed that children develop from exposure to skills, words, concepts and task that are a little beyond their ability, but with a “zone” of possible achievement (positive child guidance, Darla Ferries miler pg 32). The CSEFEL site talks about scripted stories for children. Scripted stories for social situations help children understand social interactions, situations, expectations, social cues , unfamiliar activities, and or social rules. Scripted stories are brief descriptive stories that provide information regarding a social situation. As I teacher, I would observe children when they are playing or doing activities. This would help me pick what problems I need to address. If children are having trouble with using their words to tell another child what they need, I could bring out a story that deals with this situation and during group time id say “hey friends I have a very special story about a kid named Billy. Billy wanted to color with markers, but there were no more markers in the marker box. Let's find out what Billy does, I bet at the end of the story my friends can tell me what Billy did.” I’d read the story to them about Bill and the makers. In the end Billy asks a friend who has too many markers, if he could use some of the

What would you think about the fall internship, such as the good aspects and the challenges faced in the position?

One lesson plan that I use with preschool is Crab Soccer. During Crab Soccer, I blow a huge ball up with air and divide the class into two teams. One team will wear jerseys so that they know who is on their team while the other team will not. The object of the game is to score on the other team by staying in crab position and hitting the ball on the

Buy ten different varieties of fruit but make sure it is enough so that each student has one of each. I buy fruit such as grapes, bananas, oranges, kiwi, etc. Pass out the fruit and make sure the students understand that they can eat the fruit only after the lesson is done.
