Today I finished my summer school internship in the library. What a difference this is from being in the classroom! It was WONDERFUL. I was able to teach, work with children, share my love of literacy, incorporate technology and meet with all grade levels, teachers and learning abilities. I was also part of the administrative team and very involved with administrators and things that I have never had to do as a classroom teacher. I also had to implement all of my previous knowledge from the program in terms of using the computer system, applying collection development, weeding, purchasing, and so much more. I worked at a wonderful school with amazing people. I had a truly amazing experience. I still have my comprehensive exam to take on September 25th. That exam will complete the masters. My endorsement is officially complete! It is hard to think that I will no longer have coursework, projects, research, readings, discussion boards, livetext or blackboard! These things have encompassed my life for two and a half years! I am so excited to be done! This year I will continue to be in the classroom since I just finished the program. I hope that next year I will be able to find a media specialist position. For now, I am just glad to know that my hard work has paid off :)
congrats leslie!!! what an accomplishment, and with two babies, even more so! :)
