I was also able to do volunteer hours at Avalon Park Middle School. At Avalon Park Middle School, I followed an ESOL paraprofessional around. I was able to see all the different grade levels as well as all the different courses of study. I especially loved the history classes. In one of the 8th grade history classes, I observed the class putting on a play about the Mayflower Compact. It was very interesting to see the students make the costumes and act out the different parts of the play. I enjoyed helping them and seeing the different personalities that they have at that grade level. Each teacher had their different ways of responding to the students and I learned that reaching out to the students and showing interest in their learning will help me be an effective teacher.
