My Plan of Attack

The following blog post can be found here.

Last year, I competed in the Ethical Dilemma and ELF Test Competitions, and made it to the State Competition for the Ethical Dilemma contest. Last year, I enjoyed working with my team, and I plan doing it again this year for the Scrapbook Competition.



This is a picture of my classmates and I at the Region Conference from 2015.

Steps:
1. I will decide on the contests I plan on participating in. 2. I will decide who I will be working with on which contests (if they are group projects).3. I will plan what needs to get done, and work as hard as I can to get it completed before the Region Competition. 4. After I compete, and hopefully move on to the state level, I will work hard on preparing and perfecting my work before I compete again at state.

  •  I will be doing the Chapter Scrapbook Contest (guidelines), the Breakout Session Contest (guidelines) and the Portfolio contest (guidelines). The Scrapbook and Breakout Session Contests will be done in a group, but the Portfolio Contest will be done by myself.
  • I believe the scrapbook and the breakout sessions will take a while to complete, because there are a lot of events and materials that need to be included. My group and I will need to work very hard to get these done on time.
  • The portfolio contest should not take quite as long because, most of the information is already on the portfolio, I will just have to add in more information as the time goes by.
  • To be successful, I will need hard work and dedication from each of the group members.

Welcome to My Blog!

The following blog assignment can be found here.

School year 2016-2017 is now started! As I start my Senior year, I am so excited to see what this year will consist of. 

I am a student at Birdville High School, and am involved in the Education and Training Program at Birdville's Center of Technology and Advanced Learning. I am so excited to be involved in school organizations and experience new things as I take on my last year of high school. In a few weeks I will be going out to a new field site classroom, and I am so excited to meet my new students. Last year, I interned in a kindergarten classroom, and this year I plan on helping out in a first grade classroom. I can not wait to learn more about this new grade level, and experience what teaching first grade is like.
