Day 11 of Training

Today was a great day!!! I learned so much about TESOL/ELL students and how to best help them. I found the presentation to be especially interesting because I have had a lot of experience working with Spanish-speaking ELL students and am interested in possibly pursuing a masters in TESOL in the future.

I also had a great day because I was switched to a school much closer to where I live and was informed that I will be the leader of the reading buddies at this school!!! I will be keeping track of attendance and will be the liason between the reading buddies, the teachers, the principal, and Dr. Arno! I am very excited about this leadership opportunity! We went to visit our school after training and met with the principal, vice principal, and two first grade teachers! This school seems wonderful so far. I love the attitdues of the principals and the teachers we met! They are definately there because they care about the students and are working hard to do everything possible for these students!

Although I am somewhat sad that tomorrow will be the last day of training, as I have really been enjoying the past 3 weeks, I am extremely excited for Monday, when I will meet the teacher and the students I will be working with!
