Spring 07'

So I have once again resumed to get back into the works with ArtsBridge, after beign sick last quarter I found it impossible to begin my residency at John Muir Middle School.

Before the break was over, I met with Amy in hopes to figure out what I could still do in means of completing my project.

I have found what seems a great placement at Miliken Middle School, as I will be working with the ESL students that do not regularly get to participate in an elective course, due to their rigorous structure and units they must finish to fullfill their ESL requirements.

On April 16th, I went in to observe Miss Rahamim's period 2 class. The kids are extremely engaged with their teacher and they show a lot of respect in the classroom. Anabel Rahamim is an extremely strong teacher and her ability to get through to her students clearly shows. At this meeting I presented a little more about myself and the kids each introduced themselves to me. They asked me a couple of questions and after I sat in to watch what they were working on for the rest of the period.

Thus far my partner teacher, and as well Miliken Middle School have shown the greatest support of my presence there. I am highly motivated and supported, which makes my experience a little less stressful and exciting.
