The school where I intend to complete my service learning is West Side Elementary in Springville. The school is a Title 1 school, with low income families, and the teachers receive a stipend due to this. It is the west side of Springville, and the boundaries include the poorest parts of Springville.
I will be working with Mrs. Natalie Holden, a first grade teacher. Her class has 19 students, which include 12 boys and 7 girls. Of these 1 is Hispanic, 1 Hawaiian, 1 Native American and the rest are Caucasian. . This is the least diverse class that she has ever taught.
Service Learning is very important to spend time in the classroom, observing the teacher interact with the student. I will be in the classroom for 20 hours, assisting in groups and one on one. This will help me to see if I want to become a teacher, learn useful tools for my future classroom, and contribute to the teaching community.
