UCSD Field Trip

Sammi, Nichole, Byn and I went to the UCSD but had difficulty finding parking and the Sun God statue.  We were not able to get into contact with the class so we were not able to meet up, but here is a picture of us visiting the statue together!! So sorry we were not able to all meet up.

Week of 4/5 Post

I volunteer as a leader, or teacher, at my church’s Vacation Bible School every summer.  I have one or two younger helpers (usually in middle school) that assist me in teaching the students and with whatever help I may need.  I usually have kindergarten and first grade students in my group and being in a team-teach setting really aids in the learning process for the students and makes the entire VBS experience more enjoyable for us all.  Being part of a suburban map group has enhanced my learning experience greatly and exposed me to scenarios and lessons I would have otherwise not had access to.  I could easily use collaboration in the classroom to teach citizenship to my students by demonstrating how to effectively work with others in a group setting while demonstrating respect, communication skills and positive group techniques.  By showing students positive group-work techniques they will be much more likely to avoid or know how to deal with difficult social situations they encounter in the future.
