Thank You from Courtney

Today is my (Courtney's) last day at Roland-Story Elementary as a technology intern. This summer I will be interning with Raising Readers in Story County coordinating their summer literacy programs. If you are looking for something to keep you busy this summer, we are looking for tutors! :) In the fall I will be student teaching at Willowbrook Elementary, part of Southeast Polk, in their Early Childhood Special Education classroom. My second placement is in Hanawalt Elementary, part of Des Moines Public Schools, in a kindergarten classroom.

I am so grateful for the opportunities I have had while working here at Roland-Story. I have grown not only in my confidence in implementing technology, but also in my teaching abilities. A big thank you to the teachers who opened up their classrooms to me to teach lessons to their classes. I appreciate the entire staff's patience while troubleshooting. Technology is great when it works, right? I am sad to leave such a fantastic school district but excited for the new opportunities ahead. Thank you for leaving such a lasting impact on my teaching career!

I summarized my experience below using a Wordle. Try it out in your classroom!

Thanks again for everything! Keep in touch!

Courtney
