Mentorship Project

Through out the semester we have been mentoring many classes. It has been extremely interesting because it has given us the chance to work with students in a different form of learning. This has changed how I have viewed teaching because I have heard about how some students (in highschool and university) take classes online. I thought that this might be difficult but with teachers who work hard to make sure that there is lots of support for the students if they had problems. I found the use of mentoring to be very interesting and can be applied to any classroom if the teacher decided to do so. The reason I find this interesting is because it allows for parents to be able to see what their child is doingand also give extended family a chance to see what the child is up to. Also it allows for children to hear from other studnets who may be doing the similar type of work which will allow for students to compare what they are learning. Two of the classes that I have been mentoring with were Darren Kuropatwa and Leslie Berchard.

Here are a few examples of the comments I posted:

It sounds like you guys have a really good time at swimming lessons! The sportplex is a fun place to go! Whenever I am in Moose Jaw to see my family I try to go swimming there because I absolutely love the water slide!

The use of spread sheets is really useful. As an upcoming teacher, I have learned that spreadsheets can be extremely useful for keeping track of marks for all the assignments. Have you thought of the different ways that you can use spread sheets beyond banking methods?

Payroll deductions sound very interesting to learn about! I don’t remember if I ever learned about any of that when I was in high school. I kind of wish I had so I could understand why it seems like a paycheck should be large but it shrinks from the amount of deductions. Hope your are having fun in class!

Go Riders!

Well last night was the Grey Cup! I worked for part of the game but watched it while I was at work. It was a slow game for me, I really thought that it would be more intense! So the final score was 23-19 (hurray!) I thought it was pretty funny driving home after work because it was half way through the game and there wasn’t a soul out there! Well O.K there was a few unmarked police cars out but I am pretty sure they were just bored and waiting for the game to end.  So the game ended and I waited till about 9p.m to start heading home from my friend Jenna’s place. Well I figured that Albert St. was going to be pretty backed up so I took the side streets to get home. Well I had to cross Albert St. and that was scary enough. It was a long night of listening to people screaming and car horns honking at my house, since I only live right off of Albert street and it was just nutty! I thought one of the comments made in the game was that the next time the Riders win the Grey Cup will be in 2020! I think that is true because last time they did, I was about 2 years old!

Have a good day and yay Riders! = )
