My internship is coming to an end!
I cannot believe that my internship is almost over! I have 8 days left! That is just unreal! When I think about it, I am not sure I really want to accept that it is ending; I am dreading how much I am going to miss my kids. I knew it would fly by, but I didn't know I would find it so hard to let my kids go! Anyway, I am really posting to write about what I am doing next week and I am really excited about it.(And proud that part of it is my original creativity and not something I downloaded on Pinterest!) Test preperations have begun at my school so we have built time into our day for EOG groups. I have my own group and I decided I wanted to do something special for them for several reasons. 1.) They are working super hard and I want this to be a time for them to really learn, but have a little fun as well. 2.) Although I want them to be able to relax, it is still super important that they are focused and on task so they are well prepared for the EOGs. Finally 3.) I am leaving my group for a week when I go on my honeymoon so I feel kind of bad :( So, I making some incentives for them for good behavior, on task behavior, participation, and use of testing strategies. I am going to have a few cute little sayings with test strategy reminders on them attached to a snack or treat. I know many teachers do this on test days, but since I am not sure what I will be doing because I am an intern on those days, I am doing it now and I can save the printable I am making for next year when I know I will be with my kids on test days. I will post pictures of them once I make them!
