Fall+2013+Practicum

Fall 2013 Practicum Linden Elementary School School Link:[]

Linden Elementary School is located in Oak Ridge, TN and services approximately 500 students from Kindergarten to Fourth grade. The mission of Linden is to ensure that all students acquire the intended knowledge, skills, and dispositions deemed most essential to their success. School Motto I am respectful. I am responsible. I am ready. I am safe. Willing to work, grow, and learn for a better tomorrow. I have been given the honor and privilege of serving my practicum in Mrs. Buckner's third grade class. Mrs. Buckner has 20 students, whom have welcomed me into their classroom. I have been able to incorporate lesson plans in math, science and technology and provide assistance when needed to the students, as well as to Mrs. Buckner. More importantly, I have taken from this practicum Mrs. Buckner's numerous ideas that are incorporated into her class, as well as her opinions and advice. This has truly been an amazing experience and I look forward to future practicum and residency.
