Reflection Paper On Volunteer In Elementary School

I would grade papers and tests for Walton-Verona Middle School's 6th grade reading and math teachers. This was a unique experience as it allowed me to see the struggle that teachers went through. Most of the reading papers I graded were not very good to my standards. There was punctuation and spelling errors and sometimes the students would even spell their name wrong. Also I would grade the papers while class went on and I was able to see how teachers dealt with the students. I was surprised and in awe with how swiftly and easily the teachers were able to calm down the students and keep their own temper when they would have to repeat instructions over and over again. I had always known teaching was a stressful job, but seeing it with my own eyes further confirmed it. I have a new found respect for them. They deal with rude kids a lot for a living and still are able to be kind and polite. They even become parental figures to students more than the students' actual parents. Seeing the teachers in action and not be a

THESIS STATEMENT: Don’t you all love the affection in leading the others to feel inspired and help grow their self-esteems from volunteerism? In this speech, I will explain the definition, benefits, and opportunities as volunteers.

It helped me to take a step back and get to know each individual student and have a relationship with each of my students. It also helped me to understand that I need to arrange my lessons around my students needs and what makes sense to them and what they can relate to on a personal level. Each student is different and each student learns and understands materials in a differnent way and each student needs to be

My volunteer background at Oakdale Elementary School and Backus Hospital has provided me with many skills and the understanding of dealing with different personalities. As a volunteer at Oakdale Elementary School I was responsible for managing and assisting the teacher with a third grade class. During my experience at Oakdale Elementary school, I learned

The best thing that came out of this learning experience is my appreciation for the younger grades. I always thought that I wanted to a third grade teacher, but I do not think I need to limit myself. I had so much fun just watching the kids all interact with one another and have so many different thoughts. They truly liked learning and thought of their teacher as almost a mom like figure. I hope to instill this in my future classroom and to be in a school system that is ready to help

I learned things from this class that I would have never learned in a classroom as a student. As a Teacher Cadet, I loved all the adults I worked with at my elementary school and had the uttermost respect for them. However, just as in the real world, not everything was always smooth sailing. There were times I got frustrated and I felt I was doing everything wrong but I had to learn to power through it because I made a commitment to not only the class academically for myself but also to all 19 of my students. By being in the classroom everyday, I gained a different sense of responsibility. The bond I made with each of those kids I cannot put into words. I truly looked at them and loved them as if they

There are so many opportunities and lessons I have been taking away from this observation experience. First, being the importance of structuring a classroom

Through this experience I learned that as teachers we must be reflective before, during and after. This will affect my future teaching because I will allow students to have wait time, alter lessons, differentiate instruction, and reflect. Everything that I have learned in this class and through the field experience has provided me with tools that I can use to become a better

Hopkinsville is a small town where schools and churches spin a web of contacts in which natives can find one another by tugging on the correct thread. The intimate nature between my school and the community provides me with worthy yet insular opportunities to volunteer, such as collecting for canned food drives, serving at school fundraisers, and working sports concessions. However, I prefer volunteer work that is continuous, serves the community at large, and satisfies my desire to learn and teach. Discovering such a position outside the well-worn paths was exacting. After searching through various community organizations, I found my solution in the Boys and Girls Club of Hopkinsville. There, I could satisfy my interest in teaching and serving my community, while pushing the edges of my comfort zone.

I am contacting you because I would like to volunteer at Fox Elementary. Is this something that I could do? I left SSD last year hoping that I could find a full time teaching job at the elementary level. I have faith that something will turn up eventually. In the meantime, I am subbing for SSD, but have time one day a week to volunteer. Can I reach out to some teachers and see if they would like some assistance?

My daughter has mentioned that they have learned about other countries, cultures, world problems and much more. It brings a smile to my face to hear my daughter talk about conversations she has over topics like the cyclist race that occurred earlier this year or about articles she’s read about different festivals in South America. Some of the things my daughter highlight about her year so far from the class are that they have had a dance class to learn about Hispanic culture, they have done a tiny bit of poetry for valentine’s day, songs and books in Spanish, guest speakers and lots of fun projects that all fall under the curriculum. She brings something that most teachers forget and that is interaction with the students. By connecting with her students she not only brings out what Godwin strives for a positive atmosphere but she also shows the students that she is there for them. She gives them support and confidence in what they do and that is something valuable that they will carry on forever! Although these students have much to learn, especially for the AP exam coming up, I believe with further guidance from Mrs. Andueza they will all receive exceptional

I am volunteering at Pine Meadow Elementary School. I volunteer from 8:30 – 9:50 in the morning every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I am in Ms. Wurzbergers room and she teaches kindergarten class that consists of children ages 5-6. There are 20 children in the classroom with one teacher. One of the kids has a special teacher he walks around with all the time but they are not usually in the classroom. The classroom is set up with 4 tables spread around the room with 5 chairs at each table. There is a separate table away from the student’s tables where you can do one on one work with the kids. The room has one window, a sink near the door and posters hung up around the room. The posters have thing like the alphabet and numbers on

Many schools need to push students to participate in volunteering services to receive their high school diploma. By students being part of an active role in the community, they are capable of becoming responsible leaders, learning new things, and helping those in need in their community. Volunteering is beneficial to students because it helps them become more mature and it helps them get ready for the real world. Students need to help the community whether it is forced or not.

On my volunteer day, I was doing a ride along with a police officer of the Salt River Police Department. Riding along with a police officer was a very good learning experience indeed. The officer, while staying cautious and being aware of his surroundings was a very pleasant and professional person. He was very educational, sharing their visions of the police department and that they are committed to deliver quality police service to the people. Crimes are reduced and public safety enhancement is what they strive to achieve for the community.
