My Teaching Experiences
Student Teaching
Spring Semester
I was lucky to spend my spring semester at the Butler Lab School 55 with first grade!
​
During my 16 week experience I was able to plan and teach whole group lessons throughout the school day. I had a lot of experience with the workshop model and project work where I received lots of beneficial feedback. I was able making meaningful connections with 25 wonderful first graders.
​
From March to May I created E-learning lessons, meetings, and activities for my students.
Student Teaching
Fall Semester
In Fall of 2019, I was able to student teach at Willow Lake Elementary in 4th grade.
​
This was the school's grand opening and I feel so fortunate to have been there during Willow Lake's first semester as a school! I was able to create and teach all of the different workshops and create very meaningful connections!
Middle Elementary Practicum
Experience Spring 2020
During this semester I had two formative practicum experiences.
​
I worked on math with my third grade focal student. We created goals, solved problems, and bonded over our love of candy.
​
I also had a reading group of fourth graders where I created lessons using a variety of mentor texts.
​
I also participated in events such as the Children's Museum STEM Day, Avon STEM night, Zionsville STEM night and Sycamore Elementary activites.
Early Elementary
Practicum Experience Fall 2019
In this experience, I spent every Wednesday in a fantastic kindergarten class at Butler Lab School 60.
While working with this class, I worked specifically with one focal child and we created and achieved goals together and grew as a teacher/student pair.

Music Education
Practicum Experience
At IPS #87 I was able to work with a group of first graders on creating a song about fall.
​
The students worked on melody, harmony, rhythm, and more. It was amazing to see how students respond to music!
​
At the end of our practicum the students performed their songs for their families and classmates.
