Internship #3

Project Ideas
Brandon/Randy

Post your project ideas here!

-Some ideas I was thinking of for my project were to make an arts and craft project for the pre-schoolers to do that would help them better understand a certain subject. For my first graders I was thinking of either making a lesson plan based on a subject they were having difficulty on, or becoming a tutor like person. For the school as a whole I was thinking about creating an advertisement for the new student store they just opened with all the merchandise and prices. Hopefully this advertisement would be sent home with the weekly newsletter.

1. What skills would you like to develop at your site?
Some skills i would like to develop at my internship site would be how to discipline, earn respect, and how to solve problems. Both knowing how to discipline and earning respect is extremely important when teaching children from all ages, especially younger ones, and I would like to develop these skills because they are important anywhere. Learning how to discipline will help better myself, by helping me saying no to things I don't want to support, while earning respect is important to do with everyone. I would also like to develop problem solving skills because this skill also comes in handy everywhere. Problems in life will come out of nowhere and can hit you by surprise, and knowing how to solve these problems will make my life much easier.

2. What interests do you have regarding the work done at your site?
I have always been interested in teaching since middle school because not only do I love kids, but I am also great at seeing from a different perspective. Teachers do this all the time when teaching an education that is lower than theirs, they put themselves in the shoes of their pupils and teach to their understanding. I share this skill with teachers because I have always been able to see the world from a different stand-point. All this means that my main interest regarding my site's work is to teach.

3. What needs can you address (needs your mentor has, your company has, etc.) based on your skills and interests?
Some needs I can address based on my skills and interests would be to actually teach my classes a lesson, and come up with projects that are suitable or their education. Maybe some students are having trouble grasping a certain subject, I could be sort of like a tutor that stays after with them and view their challenges from their perspective. I could then try and see exactly why they are struggling and would hopefully teach them how to overcome that.
