Week 3 - March 5 - 8, 2007

This CO-OP placement has been a wonderful choice. I really enjoy going to CO-OP and learning something new everyday. Getting to my CO-OP placement on time is very easy, all I do is walk over the bridge across from Holy Trinity. It was frustrating when during one gym class none of the students would listen, participate and they were giving a lot of attitude to me and the teacher. Routines at my placement are important because without routines the class, teachers and students would be lost and not know what to do or were to be. At my placement it can get very busy when we have a lot to complete in one short 40 minute period so we are rushing to finish that unit or worksheet. The students lately have been treating me more as an authority figure than a friend, which I find much better because they seem to listen better and respect me better. After the march break Mme. Mercer told me I would be helping Lindsay organize the intermediate storage rooms. I find that my placement is really helping me figure what I want to do with my life and it is helping me choose a career for the future.
