period 7 spahish class

Before, leaving to see my sponsor I decided to visit my mentor. When I walked inside her classroom, Ms. Kelly was playing a study game for the finals. Spanish can be really fun when you have an amazing teacher like her. She invited me to have a part in the game. In other words lead the class and correct them if they made a mistake. I have to admit I was a bit scared and nervous. Overall,I know I did okay and still have to work very hard to one day reach Ms. Kelly's level of teaching. Moving along, another thing I can get use too, is sitting in the teacher's chair, You definitely can't compare the seat of the teacher with the students.

Evaluators

My mentor Ms. Kelly gave me the advice to blog on how I decided to pick my evaluators. My three evaluators are Ms. Haffner (councilor),Mrs. Clark (special education teacher), Mrs.Cavalo(Language Supervisor).


Ms. Haffner has been very helpful throughout my senior year and basically knows my life. She has been a great councilor, friend and mentor. I decided to choose her because I knew she would feel my inspirational side of been a teacher.


Moving along, Mrs Clark has been the supervisor over the Bible club and she basically makes sure the students are alright. In many of my blogs I make clearly that God is first in my life and that I want to teach at a Christian School. Mrs. Clark knows that side of me and if the evaluators don't understand. I know for fact Mrs. Clark will make the evaluators see it the way I see it, and feel my Passion.

Furthermore, since Mrs. Cavalo is a language supervisor, I see in her what one day I want to become. She has gone through the whole process of becoming a Spanish teacher and knows how much I want this opportunity to become a teacher.

"Field Day"

Since I am not going to go to prom, Mrs.Thomas our gym teacher asked me if I could do her a favor. While the juniors and seniors are going to attend their prom, the elementary students are having their field day. Of course I saw this as an opportunity to work with kids and make connections for my senior project. Even though id tough working with little kids I am going to have a blast. What makes it even better is that I get to leave school for periods 2nd,3rd,4th and 5th period. I look forward to see a lot of competition among the students and let the games begin!!!!

Lion choice award

Coming back from Florida I remembered that "Lion's choice award" was on the Monday when we came back from Senior trip. Deep in heart something told me to check the mail box because I knew someone had picked me. Ever since I was a freshman I have wanted to get chosen for such an honor. As soon as I arrived at home the letter was definitely in my mail box. I was jumping off the walls and showing off everyone about my award. I am so happy that the teacher who picked me was Ms. Kelly, she has been my mentor and a friend I really admire.

VACATION OVER

5-18-09

Sadly, the senior trip is over and have 5 weeks left till graduation. I did not expected but through my trip I made a lot of connections to my senior project. When we arrived at Epcot one of Disney's parks, I explored many countries. For example, Mexico, this country of course was the best to explore and adventures. The biggest attractions in Mexico was the big pyramid seen above. Once you go inside you explore the Mexican culture and what makes it even better is that the workers are Mexican too. In other words you truly feel you are Mexico because you have the real food, clothing, and music. I got inspired to wear a traditional Mexican dress during my presentation.

"Senior Trip"

5-11-09

I am so excited because tomorrow we are leaving to Florida with the Senior class. I have been waiting for this trip since freshman year. What makes this even better is that my best friend is coming along as well. The bad side about this trip is that I am not going to be able to visit my sponsor or blog. In addition, continue to work on my presentation. Overall, I am going to have a lot of fun and make this experience the best.

Agenda

5-7-09

Today Mr. Abrams sat down and helped me plan my pamphlet. Since I want to be a teacher I decided to create a mini agenda but at the same time keep it simple. He gave me so many great ideas to make my agenda better. Before, I really did not know how to start it off ,but after his wonderful tips I feel more prepare. Before working in "Word" I plan what the pages are going to look like by planning it in paper, in other words called " a dummy book". I also had to incorporate photo shop into my work to make it better. I better start working fast because time is flying very fast. I believe in myself and I will have a fantastic finish project.
