BREIF DESCRIPTION:
LINK internship is a 3 week period where every Junior at Animas High School interns at a local business in order to experience what it would be like to work in that job. It is a chance for students to get an in depth look into what it is like to have a full time career. For my LINK internship, I worked as a teachers assistant at The Juniper School with Liz Major in her K-1 classroom. The Juniper School is a Montessori elementary school in Durango Colorado. They foster a curiosity driven curriculum, academic excellence as well as social emotional intellectual growth, and an authentic and diverse learning environment. I went to Juniper four days a week for 7 to 8 hours a day. I helped students with their work, aided my mentor in preparing for class and getting resources, and generally helped maintain the classroom. |
