Community Connections

During my internship year, I had the opportunity of being a member of

Endeavor Elementary School’s community action team. Our school-wide project
for the fall semester was a fundraiser for a school in Houston, Texas that was
severely damaged by Hurricane Harvey.

As an intern in my fourth-grade general education setting, my students

became pen pals with students in the Region III Transition Program in Grandville,
MI. For approximately six weeks, both groups of students shared letters back and
forth discussing different topics. At the end of our six-week period of letter
exchanging, both groups of students had the opportunity to meet and talk with one
another.
