Future Teachers (Second Semester)

Grades: 5-8

Moderators: Ms. Schinke

Our Future Teachers program allows students in Grades 5-8 the opportunity to assist teachers in their classrooms, as well as to get to know some of the everyday tasks a teacher does to create an exciting and engaging learning environment for their students.  The program will begin in October and run to the end of the school year.  Students and their assigned teacher(s) will coordinate to set up a time, either before or after school, that works best for both of them.  Students will then meet with their teacher at this time on a weekly basis and will assist in activities such as setting up or taking down bulletin boards, cutting out materials, organizing items, filing papers, adding stamps/stickers to papers, helping to prepare projects and much more.  A sign up form will be available early in the school year, as well as a list of teachers who are part of the program. Students are welcome to put in a request of the teacher they would like to work with and I will do my best to match those requests.  If you have any questions, please contact Miss Schinke.
