Reflection #1
Even though I have already began my internship back in October, today was the actual first day of internship. Which is where I got to be in and work with the summerbridge program directors, in their office? My internship is Summer bridge, and I teach 8th literacy at the school after school program, summer bridge Saturdays, which is a day to spend more time with all Summer bridge students, get to know them better, and it’s creative day that has a theme that students can be entertained and also learn from. Since school said that we have to be at internship from morning to afternoon on every Wednesday and complete 90 hours, Summer Bridge is not every Wednesday, and it’s only from afternoon to evenings for three hours. The Saturdays are in the morning for about 6 hours, but there are only five. That’s when I came with the brilliant idea to be working with the summer bridge administrators at the Wheeler school and get a sense of what happens behind the scenes. Today, I did photo copies for Rameka, and I helped her get all SAS work and papers organized for the students and the teachers. After that I did some summer bridge work on my own, being in the office was a lot of fun. I feel like I have many benefits from this, because I always feel on task with internship and Summer Bridge. I get all my work done, and learn a lot from Rameka and what she does, and also I have her guidance for help when I need her, she’s there. Then we went out for lunch and she took me to a Chinese restaurant to eat. While eating we discuss my goals, what I want to accomplish for internship, and the things I will say and present for my exhibition. I feel so ahead with all the work and notes we took down, I know that she will prepare me for exhibition. I feel proud of myself and everything I have done thus far already, and I really appreciate everything she has done for me, I don’t know what I would do without her support. We agreed that every internship day, we will take notes, brainstorm, and do more observations, communications, and connection. Write everything down and also break it down for exhibition day. I feel so ahead, and it’s a real good feeling. After eating, we headed to Summer Bridge School after school (SAS). We had a BEE, which is a literacy and numeracy competition within the whole summer bridge community. I was happy because I haven’t seen my students for about two months, so we talked about what we did over vacation, and what we did on the holidays. We caught up on things, and we had new progress tracking sheets for them to fill out, which tells us how they are doing in school, what they are learning, and what they want to learn also. The BEE was so much fun, that the time just flew by, and no one noticed. The students were then dismissed, and all teachers had a debrief department meeting. At the meeting we talk about our students, how the class went today, and what we plan to do for the next class. Since all literacy teachers have different projects to have them do, we discussed how we were going to introduce the projects to them at the next SAS session. We are all excited for what they will say, and were ready to make the project a success.
