Population • Kindergarten through 5th grade with a diverse population. • Average class sizes: kindergarten to 3rd grade: 17, 4th grade: 24, 5th grade: 22 • Large English language learner population (approximately 25%)
School Programs • raising their expectations for academic achievement and appropriate manners and social skills. • math and reading tutoring after school (Aspire), at-risk students soccer team, family curriculum nights, Writer’s Workshops, supplemental instructional sessions at each grade level.
Aspire Program To support the needs of their large English Language Learner population (approximately 25%), we have secured a 21st Century Learning Center grant. This grant ($215,000.) will enable us to serve our Hispanic students in an after school tutoring program and to purchase materials that enrich their academic and social skills. • Students have homework, math, reading, writing, art, outside time depending on the day.
My duties - Teacher’s assistant - helping student’s homework (math, spelling, writing…) for aspire class - helping to teach math for aspire and morning class - warn students about their bad behavior
What I learned… • The teachers’ role at the elementary school is very important for kids. (It is very important that the school teachers find each kid’s strength, and develop their strength.) Kids have unlimited potential!! -The more we praise kids for their great points, the more kids’ effort we can see. • Kids can purely accept any people. (they do not care nationality, race, class, gender…)
I recommend this practicum site because… • Teachers are nice, caring, and warm atmosphere. • If you can speak both English and Spanish and would like to help kids, it is a great site. • It gives us a chance to think about what the good education is.
