Second Placement
In this section you will find some examples of my experience in a third grade, self-contained classroom at PS 340. This was extremely different than my previous placement. It was difficult to begin teaching in the middle of the year, but once I was able to establish a relationship with the new students, it became an equally amazing experience. My cooperating teacher, Ma. Horgan, was teaching this grade for the first time in a new room. As a result, we would often plan day to day. I learned to come up with lessons with limited resources and time to plan. I also learned many ways to differentiate. I had an amazing experience with both the students and the staff in the room!
