It's hard to
believe that this is my final week student teaching. It seems
unbelievable that the time has gone by so quickly! This week I worked on
getting the library ready for testing and also helping to make their college
center look slightly more attractive. Mrs. Waters, the Atherton librarian
wanted to try and encourage student use of the materials the
library keeps on hand for college searching.
Currently, it is comprised of several black file folders broken down by
school names.
I wanted to focus
on local choices, in the state of Kentucky, which students could attend. I found a map of Kentucky, cut it out and
laminated it, and then glued the map to a piece of foam board. Next, I located several universities and
colleges on the map and placed fun, bright push pins to mark their
location. Finally, I requested materials
from schools through the state and used this promotional material to highlight
a wide variety of schools students might investigate.
While it’s still
too early to know how the final product will go over with students and if it
will encourage them to look at the college materials, but I really liked how it
turned out.
