Week 1 Journal

The first few days are over and I have communicated well with the teachers I am with, and the students that I help. The beginning of the week was confusing due to Mrs. Slumka changing my schedule. I didn't mind the fact that she was changing me from place to place but each day I would come into the school and not know where my afternoon began. Now she gave me the correct and finished schedule of the week. Mondays-Mrs. Skliton, which is a JK afternoon teacher. Tuesday's-Mrs. Rogulski, which is a grade one teacher. Wednesday-Mrs. Tercorse, also a grade one teacher. Thursday-Mrs. Greer, the last grade one teacher and Friday-Mrs. Slumka, which teaches SK in the afternoon. I think I made a good impression of myself when anything was offered to me I didn't deny it, I accepted. I think I was open enough to the kids and more so to the teachers. I felt welcome at my placement because it was sort of my elementry school only for grade eight, but I felt like everyone was looking up to me. At my placement I have to wear my uniform so I am recongnized as a high school volenteer. So far I have marked math, helped out kids on reading, writing, telling time, and helping them with cleaning up after playtime. Thats a summery of my first week at St. Andrews Elementry School.
