My Field Experience:
For my field experience I will be volunteering at Apollo Elementary School. Apollo is located in King County and is in the Issaquah School District. The address is 15025 SE 117th ST, Renton, WA 98059. There are 576 students attending this school, making the student to teacher ratio 16:1. In the classroom I am volunteering in there are 20 students. The teacher I am observing is Ms. Shirin Kazemi, she teaches kindergarten. This school is white dominate but has a wide range of students from various ethnic backgrounds. I was able to see this is in the classroom I am observing in. The schools mission is to develop confident, responsible, creative, and continual learners. They strive to male Apollo a place were people are respected, supported, and challenged. I believe the teacher I am observing has a similar teaching philosophy to mine which makes this a great learning opportunity for me. In addition she is teaching the grade I would like to teach so it is a perfect opportunity to see what it is going to be like and get some great tips and teaching methods from her and her colleagues.
