For the past month, I've been visiting two of my favorite places. The first place being the wonderful library, mainly for research, and the second place is... (drum-roll) Starbucks! Even though I don't drink anything with caffeine, I still go to Starbucks. Why? They serve a mean hot chocolate that goes perfectly with the cold weather and a good book. My topic, Elementary School Teaching, has surprisingly allowed me pick up some great books at my local library with ease. I've been reading Great Habits Great Readers by Paul Bambrick-Santoyo, Aja Settles, and Juliana Worrel for almost a week. Although I haven't read very far into the book yet, its given me the foundation to a possible answer for my essential question. Another book that has given me more insite to my senior topic is The Parent Backpack for Kindergarten through Grade 5 by ML Nichols.
I haven't had the opportunity to attend mentorship recently due to complicating schedules. For this reason, I was in search for another mentor and decided to contact my summer mentors. By the end of the week, I'll hopefully be able to resolve this hiccup. My independent component was going to be 30 hours with my mentor but because of my current situation, mentor-less, I thought about designing a unit that would improve a student motor skills instead. I'll be consulting with my house teacher in further detail when the break is over.
