New School

Friday September 25th was my first day attending my elementary. To me the nervousness that I felt was not about going into the school but being able to find the school in general. After having to turn around a couple of times I finally reached my destination. My first thought when seeing the school was how big it was, I could not believe that this big school was an elementary school. Once finding a parking spot I made my first trip of many up those big steps.


After signing in and getting all my paperwork situated in the Main Office, I along with another VIPS student awaited the directions for the room in which we were meeting our advisor. On my arrival to the room a wave of relief rushed over me as I recognized a fellow classmate in the meeting room. During this meeting time our advisor went through what was expected of us and gave us all examples of what we will be doing for lessons with our groups of children. I found this meeting to be very helpful and really gave me a good idea what we would be doing and how things should be done.

My first experience there I feel went very well. I cannot wait until my return and to finally be able to work with the children. From my observation on how the school is run I fell as thought this is a great educational environment. The teachers from what I observed in the hallways all seem friendly and welcoming. I am glad that I have been welcomed into this school and cannot wait to have what I hope will be a great experience working with these teachers and students.

A Little About Me

Hello my name is Laci. This is my second year attending Rhode Island College. While here I plan to obtain a degree in Early Childhood Education as well as Special Education. I currently live on campus in the New Hall Dorms which I find is a very different experience. As of now this semester is going very well and I am enjoying all of my classes.

When I am not in class I am usually working, at dance class or traveling on the weekends. I am currently training to become a professional wrestler.
