Reading Enrichment Activity Planning and Reference Collection Activity:
I presented the initial idea for the reading enrichment/enjoyment activity to my mentor and received approval from Dr. Repman to alter the activity - making it school-wide in lieu of one class and focusing on the theme of Teen Read Week which occurs in October. I also began my review of the reference collection activity. Because this school was opened only three years ago, the reference materials are up to date and appear to be adequate in terms of meeting the needs of the curriculum as based on the Georgia Performance Standards. I will work on breaking down the primary content areas in the Science curriculum to further delineate what, if any, materials need to be added to the collection. In addition, I researched several grant resources - most of which were unfortunately not available at this time or did not apply to our school which has only a 5% low-income population.
