Post 7 - Thank You Letter

May 29, 2012

Dear Ms. Madison,

Thank you so much for being a great supervisor. I really enjoyed working with you and your students.  At the beginning, the kids were strangers to me and I did not know who was who and I felt very nervous.  I didn’t know what to do or what to say and they asked me, “Who are you and why are you here?” After being there for a few days, we all began to know each other and they were very polite and kind. I liked them very them.

From you, I learned a lot of knowledge about the Tribes’ learning community.  I learned how to respect one other and share something.  When I played with the kids they had fun and they were always very cute. Through this internship and all your support, I gained so much experience.  This was my first ever experience being a teaching assistant and I appreciate all your help.

Sincerely,

Xiaona Tang

Post 4 - Midpoint Reflection

In my internship is school, at my primary mission is when they need help to help them, my job just watching them to class, also my internship workplace enviroment convironment compared to IHSL's school environment is similar, because also is in the school too,learning and study, but the different their is for primary school, small grade students, kindergarten throught third grade. I thought my internship I learned a lot of kids learning for the a tribes learning community, for example they are Mutual respect, right to pass, Safety-body and heart. At the communication skills I can communicate with kids to improve my English, because they speak English is easier to speak and easy to learn. But most challenge is when the kids talk to me, but sometime I don't understand. My internship schedule sometime will be affected me, because I get early to left school, so same classwork not following and did not finish. I think in my internship I learn many useful things for me, has been some experience to help me.
