First of all Lindsey (the cooperating teacher) has an AMAZING classroom! There is a stage with lights right in her classroom which makes a great classroom and performance space all wrapped up into one! LOVE IT!! She is pretty easy going and very helpful, even just in her words of advice and encouragement about student teaching. Challenges may include- if we are in a classroom with the ESL speakers and cant communicate as well…although I loved how she told us that there was a young man that spoke NO English and as soon as she said; hola and gracis to him that made it all better and they were automatic friends. This will be a good opportunity to work with a good group of students. Lindsey talked a lot about how wonderful her students are, they help each other and there is also great parent involvement and community support. The school also just got money put into it so there are some great upgrades to the school including technology and new computer labs that are available for use.
