Week 5: Practicum

I started my practicum on 9/26/11 in a 6th grade classroom and I love it already.  Even though I have only been once so far I was able to interact with the students and help one student with her math skills.  When I had finished helping her she seemed to understand the math a little bit better, maybe not a hole lot more but enough to where I left good that the host teacher gave me the chance to help her student.  I know that I am going to learn a lot from this practicum and going to have a lot of fun doing it and interacting with the students.

Week 4: RaquetteLake!

Having the opportunity to go to Raquette Lake was great.  Taking this trip helped me see how shy I really was when it came to doing any presentations infront of an audience but have to come up with a performance in a matter of a couple of hours and then having to perform it in front of everyone madae me see that I shouldn't be as nervous as I really am and that I am able to do it.  Also that I have to because I want to teach.  I was able to step out of my comfort zone.  I also think that having the opportunity to see our professors in a different way and not as our professors and outside of the classroom was great.  We were able to get to know our teachers in a different way and they were able to see us not just as their students.  I was able to meet new people and get to know others people that I probably would have never met.  All in all the trip to Raquette Lake was a great experience to go through and I have learned a lot from it and will definitely take every thing that I have learned into the classroom with me.

About Me

Hi, my name is Beth Hulslander and I am from Cortland, New York.  I have one sister and she is 4 years older then me so that makes me the youngest.  Right now I am a full time student at SUNY Cortland so I don't have a job at the moment.  Four words that describe me are caring, athletic, happy, and kind. The three things that I love the most are my family, my friends, and watching sports like baseball and football.  I am someone who feels grateful to have a great family to support me, doesn't like to get up early, and I feel lucky to be going to college to get a teaching degree.  I have several fears but my top three are thunderstorms, the dark, and spiders.  Finally, the three things I would like to see or people I would like to meet is seeing Italy, seeing a broadway musical, and meeting Derek Jeter.
