Welcome to Kara's Page! **Analogy:** //My first week was like baking a cake;//  // I mixed up all the ingredients but after a little bit of time and lots of stirring, I had a smooth batter to work with. // ** Reflection: **  //In referencing my analogy, I felt like I was stirring for a long time there initially! But, as one week went and another came, I quickly figured out a routine to things and it feels like I am just getting started in time for it to come to an end. Words cannot express the amount of information I have learned in such a short period of time. I have always known that I work and learn best by trying something first hand. Through this experience, I have definitely figured out my strengths and weaknesses when dealing with assessing students and planning lessons that will fully engage different age groups. One can never have enough practice! I began my post tests this week and I cannot believe how much some of the students have grown, it truly is amazing and makes this experience all the more worthwhile. I am honestly going to miss these kids and I wish I could follow along with them as they continue on with school. This process has made me question the type of structure I want in my classroom, the age group of students I would prefer to teach, and has definitely improved my teacher “withitness” for sure! I am so happy to have been a part of this program! The only suggestion I can make to improve it would be to increase the amount of days we spend at the sites and to have a complete community involvement in the program so that everyone is on the same base. I am very grateful for this opportunity and now I can go into final internship with my head held high and confident in my abilities!// **Weekly Schedule:**  Tuesdays at 9 a.m.- North Tampa Boys & Girls Club   Wednesdays at 10 a.m.- Sulphur Springs Boys & Girls Club ** Links to Worksheets: **
