Every year Freedom Elementary had a huge Christmas sing. Every grade sings 3 or 4 songs. This is the third grade, the grade I interned for.
Freedom Elementary has this really cool grant from apple that each kid has their own laptop and ipad to learn on. In this picture they are taking a history test.
For a couple of the classes Christmas party's we all went into the gym and set up chairs and had hot chocolate and treats while we watched the Polar Express.

Re: Job application for special-needs
afterschool coordinator
Dear Principal Melville,
My name is Megan Ball. I am 17
years old, and a Senior at Lone Peak High School.
I see on your website that you are
currently hiring a special-needs afterschool coordinator. Please accept this
letter of application and my attached resume.
For the past three years I have
been the primary afterschool caretaker of a mentally disabled male. Because the
State of Utah pays my salary for this job, I had to go through specific
training to be capable of working with this man. While he is kind, sweet and
non-aggressive, the fact that he is basically a two-year-old in a 24-year-old,
six-foot-four-inch tall body makes it very interesting and sometimes
challenging.
I have learned so much about my
ability to handle tough things, learn compassion for those with mental
disabilities, and I have learned extreme patience in helping people who have
autism and limiting conditions.
In addition, I took a peer tutor
class, where I helped other kids my age with learning disabilities. I helped them succeed and learn in the
classroom. I have loved both of these
experiences, which have prepared me to apply for your special-needs afterschool
coordinator.
Thank you for considering me for
this job. I look forward to meeting you in person and to discussing additional
details about the job requirements and how I can best serve you.
Please let me know a time when I can come to your office to
discuss this opportunity. You can email me at meganball8@gmail.com or call my cell
phone at 801-636-8211.
Kindly,
Megan Ball

Code of Ethics
I
think I would be good for this job because I have high moral standards, I am
efficient with my time, and I believe in being fair. I try my hardest to always
be honest, trustworthy, fair, respect others, honor peoples beliefs in what
they think is right and wrong, and respect people’s privacy.
I
believe in the statement, “just because you can, dos not mean you should,” to me that quote means that just because you
could cheat, does not mean that you should. You should take pride in trying
your hardest, you may have gotten a B on an important test, but you should be
proud of yourself for achieving that score, instead of feeling guilty. I
believe that it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.
Being
efficient with your time is so important. Being efficient also means being a
hard worker. If you are not working hard, you are not working efficiently and
you are not using your time wisely. When you are given a job to do, and you
work as hard as you can and put everything you have into it, you feel so much
better about what you have done. When you just kind of half do it and take
forever, by the time you finish your just happy to be done with it. When you
work as hard as you can and as efficiently as you can, you feel so much better
about the task you have done.
I try my hardest to always be honest,
trustworthy, fair, respect others, honor peoples beliefs in what they think is
right and wrong, and respect people’s privacy. I believe in always being the
best person I can. If I am not being the
best I can be, I am not the person I strive to be. I believe in being
efficient, a hard worker, and being the best possible person I can be.

I became
interested in becoming an elementary teacher because I love working with kids.
I grew up in an environment where there were always kids around, each family
had many kids and I was always helping out and babysitting. I have always loved
being around kids. That is why I would like to be an elementary teacher. I
became interested a couple years ago when I was thinking about what I wanted to
be after high school, I was thinking about what I could be and elementary teacher
sounded so perfect for me.
