During Block 2, I was fortunate to be able to intern in a 5th grade classroom at Walnut Elementary School in Emporia, KS. During this experience, I was able to build relationships with students, teach small groups, teach whole group lessons, and practice classroom management. In this page, you will find some of the lesson plans I completed while interning.
