• Cooperating Teacher:  Mrs. Cindy Cronce
• This was for my Teaching Cadet class in high school.  During this class, I went to Troutman Elementary until 10:00 a.m and then went to my high school.  I was able to spend time in all classes from K-5 until December 1998.  Beginning in January 1999-May 1999 I was able to work in Mrs. Cronce's Kindergarten class.  I began in this class by observing and assisting with everyday school activities.  I was able to help some one-on-one with students and I also helped with the morning calendar and opening activities.  I had a wonderful experince with this class and it helped me to be certain I wanted to become a teacher.  Mr. Ingram was my high school teacher for this class and when we were not in the elementary school, he taught us a great deal about what the teaching profession consisted of.
