Learning to TeachA Year in iQuest
My goal: To learn how to teach children of all ages, about child development, and how to work in a library.
A Typical Day
Sign in at the office
Do something random until a class comes in (adding, weeding, inventory...)
“Quiet start”
Lesson
Mary McLeod BethuneOne of the first African American teachers, went to Moody Bible College, and taught in South Carolina
missionary in Africa
met Eleanor Roosevelt
In her will she wrote, “I leave you LOVE; I leave you HOPE; I leave you a thirst for EDUCATION; I leave you racial DIGNITY; I leave you a DESIRE to live harmoniously with your fellow men; I leave you finally, a RESPONSIBILITY to our young people.”

Child DevelopmentAll in all I got to work with 2 different classes of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th graders
1st graders are easily entertained - alphabet books.
1st & 2nd graders still believe in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus, so fantasy genre can be confusing
March: 1st graders, Jack & Peter and Anna & Jane
5th graders - Veteran’s Day.
In 5 years: I will have graduated from
And will be hopefully working as a journalist or teacher
10 years...
