Since our NHS trip got canceled, today is my last day blogging. I really didnt do anything new in Shari's room, I just continued to work on my paper. Monday I will finish my paper, print out my blog, organize my folder, and set up a meeting with Mr. Finley.

Today was my last day working with Mia and Macy. It was basically my last day working with Shari as well. I will be gone tomorrow for a NHS field trip, and next week is my last week. After today, I will begin finalizing my COS paper as well as my COS blog.

I just want to emphasize on how much this COS has taught me. It truly opened my eyes. I had NO idea what responsibilities teachers had behind classroom doors. I am truly thankful to Shari for letting me work with her on very important projects and letting me get the opportunity to experience all that she does. I also want to thank Mr. Finley for giving me this chance. I learned so much and I now have a huge advantage in my college major.

Today, the girls finished their site-words. Also, I sit in and listened on a phone call that Shari made. She had to call a lady from the ACT place and rescheduel Kopen Hull's ACT. After that, Shari let me work on my paper for Mr. Finley. In addition to wrapping up all of our activities, I will be finishing up this blog tomorrow.

It is crazy to think that I only have 3 more days of this COS and working with Mia and Macy. Next week I begin working on my folder and my paper for my meeting with Mr. Finley. I thought that last week was my last week with the girls, but it turns out we have 3 more days. Today I worked with them on their final site-word activites that Shari and I put together. Also, Shari is very relieved that MAPS testing is over, and almost all the kids are tested.

Today, I sat down and talked to Shari about what this experience has taught me. We also talked about what final activity we should create to test Mia and Macy's improvement in site words. We talked about possibly making up a "game" to quiz them, so that they are interested in participating. Also, Shari let me work on my COS paper for the end of the year review with Mr. Finley.

Today, we continued working with the MAPS testing. All under classmen will be taking these all week. I again helped Shari set up and close the programs for the students. Shari and I also talked about me sitting in on one more teacher/Mr. Finley meeting before the year is over, as well as sitting in on a flooding group today. Hopefully these both work out.

As the end of the year approaches, I'm begining to see major changes in Mia and Macy's ability to recognize the site-words. This week will be the last week we do these activities before their final "word quiz" at the end of the year. Also, today, there were MAPS testing, so I helped Shari set up and log into all the computer programs before the freshman and other students took MAPS. As a senior, I am so glad I no longer have to take MAPS.
