"In my three years in the classroom, I have gained experience teaching small groups of students, and even up to half of the class at one time. Once I see the teacher teach a lesson, I feel pretty confident in following her example. I feel particularly strong in teaching reading and writing, specifically letter sounds and sight words, and I have the most experience with those subjects. I regularly lead small groups through various activities and subjects, and I feel comfortable doing so, given enough planning and preparation. I look forward to the chance to get even more comfortable in this role."
