Aloha Everyone!
My name is Chelsea and I am going to be a Junior at Linfield this coming fall. I am from Kaua'i, Hawai'i and am an Elementary Education Major. For the past month, I have been interning in two different classrooms for the Kaua'i Head Start Program. I chose to do an internship this summer because I wanted to experience teaching in a Head Start Classroom, and to see if that may be an option of where I wanted to teach after college. I absolutely LOVE it because I get to help these kids get ready for kindergarten as well as being able to lead certain activities throughout the day. The teachers there are so willing to let me get the full experience with the kids and I am learning so much by doing this hands on work rather than just listening about it in the classroom. Don't get me wrong, I love learning in the classroom, but there are things that are easier learned when done yourself. My goals for this internship is to be able to get a better perspective on why I want to teach children, as well as gaining the experience of being in this specific type of classroom. Every teacher has their own styles of teaching, and I am so blessed to be able to gain knowledge from all of them.
