! Dear 2A Families, ! As you aware, I have been working with your child in Mrs. Tarcons classroom for the past six weeks. As ! My final internship consists of two main sections: Teaching half time and a Professional Inquiry Project. The question I have created for my Professional Inquiry Project is: !
To what extent does the Daily Five framework for Language Arts instruction impact student engagement and competency in literacy?

a part of my professional growth as a pre-service teacher, for the past two years I have been developing an online portfolio to showcase my teaching experience. I am hoping that my online portfolio will serve as a tool to demonstrate my teaching competencies when I seek a teaching position upon my graduation from the University of Lethbridge.

! I have had the opportunity to attend a Daily Five workshop, observe Mrs. Tarcon teach using the Daily ! The photos and/or video I hope to include will highlight my work with students and will not have any !
My online portfolio can be viewed at www.kaylamarra.weebly.com . Please feel free to explore the website and contact me through email with any questions you may have (marrak@lrsd.ab.ca).

Five framework and have taught using this method. I am now beginning to decide how I will present what I have learned for my final product. My hope is to gather photos of students working through the Daily Five elements and potentially interview a few children to ask what they like about the Daily Five as a way to demonstrate student engagement in a video format. With your permission, I would like to showcase these photos and a potential video on my online portfolio to demonstrate my growth as a teacher. These photos/videos will only be used in my portfolio. students names attached. However, I do require consent for any student photos I include in my public online portfolio.

! Please return this form to school by Friday, February 28. Thank you very much for your consideration in this consent and for the opportunity provided to me to learn and grow as a teacher! ! Sincerely, ! ! Ms. Kayla Marra ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
