Student Teaching

Well, I have a placement. I'll be student teaching at Helen Keller Elementary in Mesa Public Schools.  I'm in a 2nd grade Spanish component of a dual language classroom.  So, I teach two different sets of 22 kids, half in the morning, half in the afternoon.  When they're with me, they'll be learning Writing, Social Studies, and Science-- all in the Spanish language.  When they're not with me, they'll get Reading and Math in English.  All already speak fluent English, and some have a history of Spanish in their family or with friends, but many are learning Spanish for the first time.  This'll be an adventure!
