letter to ms. carroll

Dear Ms. Carroll,

Senior Project Seminar is a class that lets everyone’s personality come out, in the way they want to be seen. For example, I would like to become an elementary school teacher; therefore, I picked elementary education for my project. My product part of this is to develop a lesson plan and actually teach my sponsor’s third grade class. I feel that this will provide me with great experience in my field of study. After I teach the third grade class, I will present my lesson to my Senior Project class, and maybe they will learn something as well. My project is unique and creative because it gives me a way to express the teaching techniques I have learned from sitting in Mrs. Teti’s class. Also, this will be a way to get a feel of what I would be in for, if I definitely decide to become an elementary school teacher.

By completing this project, I will learn and develop many skills in the field of my choice. For example, so far I have learned that being a teacher is not an easy job at all! There are some students that just don’t care and will do whatever they can to get attention from the class; in my opinion that is just absurd. However, by seeing the ways that Mrs. Teti deals with those students, it has shown that if you know what you are doing in the field of education, then you can deal with them easily. Also, there are so many different styles of teaching, and I have learned different sayings and games to play; instead of just getting up in front of the class and lecturing. To help me with my project and product, I have asked my sponsor and mentor to guide me along the way; however, it is all on me to get it done and the way I want it. I’m sure along the way I will encounter problems; for example, time I have and need to put into it, and the knowledge of the study to make my lesson plan polished. An elementary school teacher is not an easy job!



Sincerely,

Aliccia
