Blog #3: How its going

My internship I have been doing for iQuest for the past three and a half months is teaching in a local first grade classroom. I have been working at Hidden Hills Elementary School. I have been learning how to communicate lesson plans to young children, assess their progression, and how to work with children better. I decided to choose this internship because I am interested in teaching and I love working with kids. There are so many positives that come along with this internship. Some positives would be that I get first hand experience teaching in a classroom and that I get to learn how to teach lessons and create learning plans for students. While there are many positives, there are also many hardships. First graders are not always the easiest to work with because it is harder for them to understand what I am trying to explain and they have a very short attention span. I have learned a lot about the teaching style I have and that I really enjoy helping people learn and grow. I am excited to see the students progression and my own progression throughout the rest of the school year.
