At times we go into the classroom and assist children with the lessons that the classroom teacher is doing. Other times we have children in our reading center to help them with specific skills. We work very closely with all classroom teachers and also the reading teacher, Claire Mueller, in order to best target the needs of the students. We also have a program called Early Success. This program is specifically designed for first and second graders.
Designated children work with a tutor in small groups four days a week in the reading center.
This program focuses on one book a week and develops reading and writing skills from that one book each week. Since we have quite a few new tutors at Mt. Pleasant we thought you might like to meet us. I graduated in May from Monmouth University with a double major in special education and elementary education. I am currently attending the New York University School of Graduate Education for my Master's degree in Elementary Education. I feel both honored and excited to have the chance to teach at a school that is as wonderful as Mount Pleasant.
