No matter what classroom I am in and what teacher I am working with, the staff at St. Andrew’s always makes me feel like I am welcomed, and part of the team. I am asked my opinion most of the time when teachers need help with certain activities for the students or books to read. This helps me feel like I am involved with the class, and helping the teachers at the same time. Overall the teacher’s can always use some help, and they are always looking for new ideas and opinions. Each day I am asked questions like, would this look better bigger? Or what if we did it like this? Or how should we do this? I feel really proud that I can help the teacher’s I work with by contributing my own ideas, and opinions. The teachers always love the extra input and help they are receive.

I always feel confident whenever I put in any idea or whenever I state any opinions. The teachers always compliment my ideas, and this makes me feel like I am really contributing. When asked my Mrs. Smith to laminate pictures for her media studies project, I asked her if I should laminate them on construction paper so they come out more. She agreed and she was really impressed on how they turned out. She asked me to do some more the next time I was with her. Overall, inputting ideas and opinions are important when you are a teacher. A creative mind and original imagination helps make the simplest thing into the most amazing. For children, creative and originality is vital, in helping them enjoy what is being done at school.
