Experiences

· While studying at Appalachian State University I took CI2800, which is a class that involves the ASU students being assigned to an elementary school in the area to tutor students. During this semester, I went to Hardin Park Elementary School in Boone, North Carolina, twice a week to work with the students that were assigned to me. I would help mostly with reading and writing.

· During my fall semester of 2001, I participated in my internship at Bethel Elementary School in Sugar Grove, North Carolina. I was in the Kindergarten class, where my supervising teacher was Mrs. Mary Ruth Hagaman. During my internship, I observed Mrs. Hagaman in her everyday routines. I also participated in teaching lessons and working with small reading groups.

· Fall semester of 2002 I will be doing my student teaching.
