Dear Ms. Sharpnake,
From all my respect, I thank you for being my mentor this year. I
really enjoyed working with you because you were such a great mentor!
I really admired the way you taught the class because your students
were so quiet and well behaved. I still remember my first day of
internship. The students were so concentrated when you were teaching
them. But when they went to other classes, they were really hard to
control. Sometimes they drove me crazy but when you came to get them,
they became quiet again. I think you have the magic to keep the class
calm. So impressive.
I am thankful to you and Ms. Amy for teaching me to be organized. Form
you and Ms. Amy, I learned how to organize the materials and papers.
Also communication skills made it easier for me to have conversations
with kids. These skills made me better prepared for my goal of being a
teacher one day.
I really appreciate how you told the students to make thank you
letters for me. I was so surprised! They were the best! This
internship has given me many precious memories and I will never forgot
them. I want to say goodbye to Ms. Amy and hope to see you soon.
Thanks a lot for everything!
Sincerely,
Hang Zheng

Photo essay
In the picture above, the student is share his book. Every afternoon before they pack up, Ms. Sharpnake will tell the "Assistant" (every students got different job in the class) to sit on the teacher's chair and tell other students come out and share to the whole class.
What a class! I am so happy to work with those kids, they were so cute! (sometime they are annoying.) In back of the students are my teachers - Ms. Sharpnake and Ms. amy. I learned a lot from them. It was my pleasure to work with them.
This is the office where I sigh up everyday, the teachers in office are very nice. They often put the foods on the table and welcome us intern to eat. Also if we miss hours, we can make up in the office by doing some printing stuff.
This is one of my favorite group in the class. They work so hard, each one of them have talent on special subject.
In the picture above, we can see a student is presenting the powerpoint in front of the class. His name is Ian, Ian is presenting his favorit thing which is dinosaurs. I love to see him presenting, he was so perfessional, just like adult.
