| I currently work at Moravian Academy in the extended care program for students who need after school care. I have completed three 40 hour field experiences and one 90 hour pre-student teaching experience. My field experiences were all in the Bethlehem Area School District in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. My placements include: Grade 1 at Hanover Elementary School, Grade 3 at Calypso Elementary School, and Grade 4 at Asa Packer Elementary School. My pre-student teaching placement was a unique experience team teaching three Grade 5 classes at Clearview Elementary School. |
| SPRING 2009 My experience in first grade at Hanover Elementary school was very enlightening. I thoroughly enjoyed working with this age group. I often read books to the class and led their morning activity routine. I also had the chance to observe them at work in specialist classes such as physical education and art. |
| FALL 2009 I also enjoyed my time in fourth grade at Asa Packer Elementary School. I discovered that I also enjoy working with upper grades as well. Fourth grade is a very transitional year and one of my favorite parts of the experience was watching the children begin to grasp more complicated topics such as multiplication with large numbers. |
| FALL 2010 My field experience in third grade at Calypso Elementary School was very meaningful because it was the first time that I had the chance to teach my own lessons. I taught literacy and science lessons. My favorite part of this experience was having the opportunity to teach a guided reading lesson. I feel that I really evolved as a teacher during this experience. |
| SPRING 2011 My pre-student teaching experience at Clearview Elementary School was in three fifth grade classrooms. I was part of a team teaching environment in which there were three cooperating teachers and three pre-student teachers. I had the chance to teach lessons in writing, reading, and math. I also taught a unit on the branches of the United States government. I went on a class trip to a Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs game with the class and participated in their auction at the end of the quarter. |
