My Internship Experience
Week 810/30/2020 This week is themed around Halloween because this Saturday is Halloween. Around the school; we have themed days each day. Monday was an inservice so no students were at school. On Tuesday we had crazy hair day; I wore pigtails with green/orange pipe cleaners in it and eyeballs stuck with tape. Wednesday was Halloween hat day; I don't have any special Halloween hats so I wore a baseball cap. On Thursday it was Dr. Brass colour day so I wore a red shirt and black pants. Today it was orange and black day so I wore an orange shirt and black pants.
Also during the week we have candy jar guess, students could guess how many candy were in the jar for 0.25 cents. We also had a colour page contest where students could colour pictures and enter to win the contest; the winners would be announced later today. Then there was the scary writing contest but our kids couldn't participate in that. Each activity or themed day that the students participated in earned us a point for our classroom towards a pizza party. I learnt I am very competitive in the contest. Not only was the whole school celebrating Halloween but in our classroom we themed activities around Halloween. This helps get the students motivated to learn during an exciting time for them. For example, in Math class we were doing ten frames so we used pumpkin as our dots. In rhyming we did rhyming Halloween words like bat and cat. Then in Arts ed we used a pumpkin template to learn about shapes. I think this made the students more excited to learn because they are all very excited for Halloween. Instead of just doing fun activities we used the students excitement to our advantage. I am hoping we win the pizza party; because my students deserve a special prize!
