Week 8

This week most of my hours were spent working for our book fair. Each elementary classroom at our school created projects to display during the time that the families would be in the building. I helped the second graders get theirs together and displayed neatly. They all read a Boxcar Children book and created a diorama of the setting. They worked hard and the projects turned out great!

I also had the opportunity to spend a considerable amount of time helping with the book fair. The theme for the spring was based on styles from the sixties and seventies. The kids had a lot of fun dressing up in tie dye and fringe this week. Helping in the book fair was fun. I assisted with talking to parents and students to help them find the book or book genre they were looking for. It was so fun to see the students find books that excited them.

 

The last thing I began this week was a journey toward becoming a Google Educator. My supervisor and I talked about this and she thought it would be a great way to learn more about technology through professional development. I am looking forward to learning and helping my students further their twenty-first century skills.
