Mrs. Ida Reynolds • Master of Arts in Teaching in Early Childhood Education from Reinhardt University • Candidate Teaching at Little River Elementary School • Placement in First Grade • Collaborating Teacher - Mrs. Dana West • All Subjects taught including: • Calendar Time • Language Arts • Mathematics • Science • Social Studies
Little River Elementary School • K-5 school • Located in Woodstock, GA • Approximately 900 students • Student Diversity – 35% minority (20% Hispanic, 10% African-American, 5% Asian) • Principal: Christian Kirby • Assistant Principals: Abbey Philpot and Loraine Ward Image from: http://www.womacklewissmith.com/projects.html
My Class • 25 Students • 13 girls, 12 boys • 3 African American • 2 Hispanic • 2 Asian • 2 EIP – Reading • 1 ESOL • 5 recently tested for gifted
My Thoughts, Feelings, Fears, Strengths and Weaknesses As I Began Candidate Teaching Am I ready? How will I manage my time? How will I manage 20+ first graders? Will my collaborating teacher be open to differentiation? Will I remember all that I have learned? BUT - I’m excited to begin the next step!
