When I was a junior and senior at Powers Lake school I was given the opportunity to be an aide in kindergarten, second grade, and fourth grade. My junior year I was in the kindergarten room and it was a lot of fun. I worked with students who needed additional help, but I mostly worked with this boy who had severe ADHD and helped him to stay on task. The next year, senior year first semester, I worked in the second grade room and worked with groups during reading. I would assist with behaviors as well. In my second semester of senior year I started working in the fourth grade room as well. I lead math and reading groups and lead interventions that the teacher gave me materials to do. The teacher was kind enough to allow me to assess a student in reading (an assessment he had already done so we did not have to worry about data). This experience helped me gauge what age group I would prefer and also helped me to hone my teaching skills before I went off to college.
