Monday Madness

On Monday I worked with many different levels of students. At the start of the day I observed a preschool class and then a presentation by Julia, a PhD student from UAF who presented her travels and life in Germany. In the afternoon I was the substitute teacher for the 4th and 5th grade students and taught them their math lesson for the day. I also observed Anneli Gadamus’ lesson with the 1st-3rd grade students who began a school mural. I also attended after school guitar lessons with about six other elementary school children.

Kaveolook School had many surprise visits including a school physiologist and a nurse practitioner, and also absent teachers. In a school as small as Kaveolook, approximately 54 students, any change requires all of the staff in the school to be extremely flexible. I think that teachers are constantly asked to teach and perform duties in the school both out of their field of study, experience, and comfort level.
