End of October Blog Update

This month I spent about 6 hours at my mentorship. I do simple tasks every time I'm there, nothing extraordinarily special. Tutoring the kids, helping around the class, things of that nature. But this month, the kids had a series of projects which comprised of them doing book reports. They are assigned a book that the whole class reads and do an outline, draw pictures, and write a summary. It's kind of a  fun thing to do because the kids put their own creativity in their own reports.

Blog 8 - Research and Working EQ

1. Example EQ: What is the best way to teach a mild to moderate 6th grade special education student.

• Be patient, the child will not be as fast as the other students around him/her. Have lots of love and care for that student in wanting them to achieve.

2. Probably my mentor and the book "Including Students With Special Needs: A Teacher's Guide"

3. My mentor is Rosemarie Aguirre. She's a 6th grade special education teacher, and this correlates directly to my topic.

Blog 7 - Independent Component 1 Approval

1. For my thirty hours I'll learn from my mentor on how to teach and go through the day of a special education teacher. Then I'll take my mentors place for a couple of periods during the day

2. I'll take pictures, maybe take a video, and make a lesson plan for the day.

3. This will help me go deeper into my topic because instead of watching my tutor and helping her out, I'l actually be teaching the kids like I am the teacher.
