On September 3rd, 2021 I reached out to Ms. Petrillo and asked her if I could volunteer in her classroom and tutor her 9th grade students during her Algebra class. She emailed me back and she said that she would be happy to have me help out in her classroom since she had a big class and the students would benefit from the extra help. I set up an in person meeting with her so we could discuss more about the role I was going to be playing in her classroom and the dates and times I would be available to come in and help out. I am excited to work with Ms. Petrillo and her students. I had her for my algebra I class during my freshman year and I loved the way she taught us and she was so patient with us. She is a great teacher and I am looking forward to working with her and learning from her. I am a bit nervous to interact with the students because I don’t know what kind of questions they are going to ask me and I don’t know if I will remember algebra I. I know that I need to review my math skills so I can support the students in the classroom. Journal 2 Today was my first day going into Ms. Petrillo class. The students were very excited they were being very good and respectful. I learned all of the students' names, every student inside the class was assigned a class job. I helped the students with their ISN notebooks. They were cutting and pasting things into their notebooks. On the other hand I am doing very well maintaining all of my grades and keeping up with the good work I signed up for different colleges and I feel like I am ahead. Journal 3 Today we went on a field trip to the army campground and it was a very fun trip. I got to be in a group with some of my friends and even people who I don't speak to. It was a good way for the whole senior class to work together and try to get past each of the stations. I think the best part was being able to enjoy the time with my classmates. We all got to know each other a little better. I think this was very good for us. Journal 4 Today I did something different. Sometimes when I am in Ms. Nichols room I help some of her middle school students with their work. Today I helped an 8th grader with his math homework and also his math quiz. It was very easy and he was just happy that I was there to help him because the teachers in the class were busy helping other students. I was also happy that I was there to help the student was very respectful and nice. Journal 5 Today in class we did group work. It was a really good class today. Everyone was on task doing what they had to do. Ms.Petrillo wasn't expecting me today but i just popped up and asked her if she wanted me to come and she was very happy that i asked because she loves the help. This was the first time I went back since the new year. I haven't really gone to my math class in a long time due to me being really busy but I am going to start going back again because all the stress is now over. Journal 6 Today was a nice easy day. They did a really great job and focused on their work. It was a half day so they were talking a little. But we had a good day overall. I like coming to her class on half days because I feel like it goes by so fast and we are always doing a fun assignment and they are always in a good mood. Journal 7 Today I was in Ms.Petrillo class they did very well. I really enjoyed being in the class with them. I loved watching how they all changed from the beginning of the school year, they are actually doing work and starting to focus now and are understanding what they are doing. |
