This is a screen shot of Easy Grade Pro, the record keeping program that I used during my student teaching. All grades are recorded here and there is a bar graph in the top left corner that shows a mini-summary of the progress during this trimester. ======

__**4C Communicating with Families**__ This is a newsletter I created for a first grade vacancy at Dean Petersen Professional Development School, that I had the opportunity to teach at the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year. In my first grade classroom, I had many students whose parents did not speak fluent English. I translated the newsletter from English to Spanish, each week, so that all the parents could be involved and informed of what was going on in the classroom, what their child was learning, and how they could help their child at home. Included are their Specials classes, and what day each of them are on, any upcoming events such as picture day, or open house, the starting time of school and words and sounds of the week. I also got the opportunity to host my first Open House in both English and Spanish, while teaching at this school.

During my time student teaching at Rose Warren Empowerment Elementary, I was given an opportunity to tutor for the Clark County Education Association (CCEACF). I work with eight students twice a week for an hour and a half a day on language arts and math. Attendence is taken daily, lesson plans are used for each tutoring session and I create progress reports monthly that are sent home to the students to keep the parents informed of their students progress in the program.
