What
to do With this Major Student intern experience As a first-grade student teacher in nearby Standish, elementary education major Kelsey Moore ’06 works with a class of 19 six- and seven-year-olds. She starts the school day off teaching the students about shapes, patterns and numbers. Throughout the day, she presents many lessons, including counting in Spanish and in sign language. However, reflecting on the outcome of lessons and planning future lessons are also important elements of student teaching. Although much of the day is spent keeping the young kids focused, seeing their progress and their faces light up when they understand something makes the experience more than worth it, Kelsey says. “It’s challenging and stressful at times, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I love what I am doing and where I am. Alumni profile Ann fondly recalls Dr. Marshall's children's literature class at Saint Joseph's. "She really transferred passion about reading. If nothing else, I want kids to enjoy the story I read to them that day, because reading is the basis for everything," she says. "Dr. Marshall and Dr. Lemke were big influences, because of their passion and devotion," she adds. Ann Marie also liked the variety of internships she got through her education major, where she experienced settings in first grade, third grade, middle school and alternate education.
