Four Week Into Internship

The site where I work is called “Change for Kids”; my position held on the job is Literacy Tutor for kindergartners and teacher assistant for 3rd grade. The company provides excellent education for children and also it help teachers in their communication and also in their behavior towards kids. It helps children to advance grades in a variety of techniques to get high grades on the different activities done in class. The task I do daily are to greet people as I enter the building, sign in the office and get a pass, and go to my mentor office and get refresh with the activities I am going to do with the class. My mentor is a very glad person, she enjoys working with children, she is also a very focus person example: when she has to do a meeting with the parents she get the job done and up to the next one, and she is a fun person to work with because when she wants to be humorous she makes people laugh a lot. Some memorable moments I have from my very first weeks are when the kindergartners surround me and present themselves with no fear for stranger, the kids even taught me the beautiful work they were doing to show kindness. I really enjoy working with the children and assisting the teacher in their needs, however, for me it is valuable experience for the future.

The name of the neighborhood that my site is Bedford Stuyvesant, I take me approximately 1hour and 30 minutes to get to my internship, so I leave from school at 11:35am to 11:40am everyday. I arrive everyday to my home approximately 5pm to 5:30pm. I work for 3 to 4 hours most of the time. The person who sings my cards every time I go to my internship is Ms. Ben Aaman or if she is absent, the assistant principal sings the paper.

First Two Weeks (Feb. 22 - March 4)

My first thoughts that I had when I arrived at my internship is to communicate and to work with people were I could help and share my knowledge with other people.
Also I could be to assist other people in sites, to work with people to get the job done and to get fruitful results.

I’ve been working at a school, with kindergarteners and 3rd graders. In the kindergarteners I help them read books and pronunciations of words, help them be creative and playful to each other. For the 3rd graders, I help them in every class, specially in mathematics because they are doing the State Exams and the school have a good score board of the progress the student have done by the past years.
