...And the beat goes on!

I am glad that I am in this position as a 5th grade tutor/mentor at this school.  The teacher that I assist has been extremely open to advice, and grateful for the guidance that I have provided. I have really seen the transformation of student interest, focus, and confidence, and behavior within the five weeks that I have been interacting with them. They are enthusiastic about reading and learning!  Although it is my hope to be teaching in an adult setting after graduation in the spring, I can not help but think about how responsive and supportive I have been to all of the children that I have taught throughout the years.  As the teachers are counting down to FCAT; I am counting the total books that have been read, the reading quizzes that are passed, and the learning connections that are being made on a daily basis with these fifth grade students.
