Grade 1 PE Bowe School room 111

 

My student teaching placement is at P.E. Bowe (Elementary) School in Chicopee, MA. Although Chicopee is not generally considered an "inner-city," the proximity to Springfield and socioeconomic backgrounds of the students help Bow to fall under the "inner-city school" category. There are 23* students in the class of all different ability levels ranging from ages 6 to 7 (and possibly even 8). 

The school day goes from 8:30AM until 2:30PM starting with a half hour ELA and reading block every morning, followed by  writing, lunch, specials, and math. 

Needless to say, I'm extremely excited to start student teaching. After all this Education Department nonsense, about my "not wanting to student teach" it's finally my turn to show my stuff.
