This is the classroom I would be working with my menter and helping the Kindergartens.
This is my mentor Amanda Fellhauer a Kindergarten teacher. She is dress with a simple shirt and jeans and because in that they we wen to the field trip so we needed to be comfortable.
These is some of the work I did which was cutting pictures and putting into the right order for the students I would be helping them.
This picture was an interesting experience for me because when we went walking to the local Albertsons the kids needed to be in a straight line so at that time the kids have a lot of energy and when crossing the street we needed to go fast. And then going back to school some were tired walking slow and tripping.
The field trip was going to the albertsons to learn about healthy and nonhealthy and so this was something that I found it interesting was learning about fruits and vegetables even though I knew about it, but I didn't know what you has something to do with your body. Like for example what I like was learning if you eat a fruit or vegetable that is red helps your heart, eating yellow or orange prevents you getting sick, the blue is your brain, and the green is for your eyes.

Economy Question?
Has the recession cause you to cut supplies for students?
There has not been a cause for that when they need stuff they sometimes order them, but right now there has been enough supplies for the students.
Has teachers been laid-off?
Last year it did affected because the school didn't need a lot of teachers and maybe there would be teachers laid-off for next year.
I woke up at 6:30 and for breakfast I just ate an apple. To go to my internship I went walking and it was took me about 15 minutes to get there. I did like it because it was a way to start your day doing a little bit of exercise in the morning. When I arrive at my internship I went to the office to check in so there was a people in there. Then Charlie came and he was the one that took me to meet my mentor. Before class started my mentor Amanda and I were talking about they were going to a field trip so then the kids came in and they look at me. I work in the school Sherman Elementary with the Kindergartens students. The area is in a classroom which was colorful with numbers, the alphabet, books, etc. When we came back for the field trip we had lunch so I ate a sandwich with my mentor, Lisbeth, Consuelo, and their mentors in Lisbeth's mentor class. During the afternoon I stay with my mentor helping her and talking about my project, things I will be working on the past three weeks, and talking about things to know about each other. The kids left early because every Wednesday they have a minimum day.
The type of work I see myself doing in the next few days is helping the kids and my mentor like passing out stuff. Also I will be helping four students that are low and advance in math and literature.I feel prepare in helping my mentor with the students in cutting papers, passing out things, and helping them with math and literature. I am hoping I will do well in this things. I am going to learn to be patient with kindergartens because today in the morning we went to a little field trip in my first day, but it was fun a good experience and it was only for today. So on Friday it would be the first time the kids are learning. I am excited in having this experience in working with kids because is something that I wanted to try doing it. So I'm hopefully hoping that it would be great working with my mentor. But what makes me nervous is getting a long with the student and my project. I got to go to the field trip, so I didn't have a long time being with them in class. When the kids left I stay my mentor discussion about on Friday and then doing some work all the way to 3:30. I check out and got home at about 3:55. I got some rest and I am ready to go in Friday.
