My contract for grading will include the following projects: for an "A" 1. I will be volunteering on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the remainder of the school year to read to and with children in Mrs. Johnsons 1st grade class who may not get the support they need at home. I will keep a journal of my experience. 2. I am working with social services to become more involved in the Wrap Around Program. It is to be determined how much time I will spend with children after school or involved in other meaningful activities. 3. I am also planning on reading a book and submitting a report. (I am still narrowing down my choices.) 4. I am signed up to do an article for the International Falls paperunfortunately I am at the end of the list. 5. I would also like to spend time in classrooms observing throughout the district while my daughter is in school. This would take place over the next year and one-half. I would keep a journal of my experiences. Making note of techniques, activities and best practices that may suit me upon my return to teaching.

5. My husband and I are currently scheduled to participate in four 3-4 day camping trips through the Wrap Around Program this summer 1999. I would like to include this as part of my "A" requirement.

We will take 3-5 kids predetermined by social services.

Acitivites include fishing, cooking, tubing, storytelling, hiking, swimming, and any other activities the children suggest!!

Good luck to you, Mary Ann
