LITERAL
I, Ingrid Nicole Mata, affirm that I have completed mentorship during the academic school year which represents 51 hours and 35 minutes of work.
My Senior Project Hours log has been updated.
Contact: Lesley Martin & Maricar Caragao
Mentorship: Lark Ellen Elementary, THINK Together
INTERPRETIVE
The most important thing I have gained from this learning experience is the significance in great people skills and organization. For mentorship, I was surrounded by elementary school children but also worked with adults, experts in this line of work, who carried themselves gracefully in a fast-paced learning environment. I was able to observe my mentors complete tasks and goals with proper planning, ultimately learning what is key to creating an effective teaching practice.
APPLIED
What I have done has helped me answer my essential question because I learned the fundamentals in planning, executing, and concluding lesson plans. How can an elementary school teacher most effectively produce fluent readers? While observing and shadowing my mentors, I was able to answer this question because I witnessed first hand examples of students going from having trouble with reading to reading above their grade level.

Blog 12: Mentorship 10 Hours
Content:
1. Where are you doing your mentorship?
I will begin doing my second mentorship beginning next week at Lark Ellen Elementary school.
2. Who is your contact?
My contact is my mentor Ms. Krall, a first grade teacher.
3. How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship located at the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?
I've explained as to why I have subpar mentorship hours, 3 hours and 30 minutes, but I feel that I have learned how to work through the unforeseen events that have taken place.
4. Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
For the hours that I did manage to complete, I shadowed my mentor and got to observe the distinct behaviors of children in the process of improving both their reading and writing skills. During mentorship, I helped my mentor by organizing and sorting paperwork that included information on common core. I also assisted during reading time, meaning I worked with students to improve pronunciation and expanded their vocabulary.

Blog 2: Summer Mentorship Component
Content: (directions)
3. (Need to know) What questions were raised because of the 10 hours of experience? List them.
Keeping a positive outlook on any given situation is the most important thing I have gained from this learning experience. People tend to make rash decisions when all hope seems to be lost and when patience runs out. Working with children and spending time with them made me realize that they are at a crucial age in their development. They are absolute sponges, mimicking you in every way. These young students spend most of their time with you and if they see that you are supportive, rather than being pessimistic, it encourages them to be the same. I will become an exemplary educator and I believe that bidding farewell to negativity helps me grow as a person and as a teacher.
Answer the following 5 questions. Remember to link the log of your mentorship hours using google docs (drive). Post your blog response on your senior project blog. We check it there.

5. What is your senior project topic going to be? How did what you did help you choose a topic? Please explain.
As stated in my first blog, my senior topic is going to be on teaching elementary school and how applying art into the curriculum could prove to be beneficial for a student. As a child, my mother enrolled me in drawing classes, martial arts, and music lessons. I personally enjoyed them and I have always believed that because of the childhood I had, surrounded by the many arts, allowed me to relish learning. After observing an elementary school class and giving a hand from time to time, it reinforced my belief of positive outcomes for child development from art in the curriculum. The students were participating in activities designed by the teachers that targeted the different areas of art. I wish to explore more about this by making it my senior topic, being something I would equally enjoy and be fascinated with.
