Wow!
Summer always flies by, but this year! I can’t believe I’ve reached the end of my summer internship. Where did the time go?
I’ve learned so many great things during this experience. Everything from learning about lab procedures, lab safety, to best practices in education, technology, and grant writing. All are areas that will impact my classroom.
I can’t wait to use some of the cool apps I’ve learned this summer! Our school will try one-to-one learning with tablets being issued to my grade level in November.
Ugh!
November!
I am also excited to share with my students what I learned in the labs at NCA&T State University. When I applied for the Kenan fellowship, I was a 6th grade teacher. I’m moving to 8th grade in a couple of weeks. And, the 8th grade curriculum more closely matched what I learned in my internship! The lessons I’ve created this summer will greatly enhance my curriculum.
Finally, I will reenter the classroom feeling recharged, and renewed, feeling greater confidence and just happy to get the year started!
