End Of The Year Excitement
The conclusion of the academic is always an exciting time. Our campus is bustling with various activities. Below are some photographic highlights from the last few weeks of the semester. The first two are fun shots of my ED 119 Aesthetic Experiences for Young Children course and the creativity projects the students presented. The third photo is of one of the puppet shows my students wrote and performed at the Ann Harris Smith Little People’s Place Child Development Center on campus. The fourth photo is of the Department of Education Mock Interviews. This was a really wonderful evening. Superintendents, principals, head teachers, MAC administrators and community leaders were invited to conduct mock interviews with our current student teachers. The students did a fine job and the school district administrators were very complementary of our program and how prepared the students were to answer questions. The last photo is from the 2009 Humanities, Social Science, and Professional Studies Academic Honors Ceremony held on May 1st. It was additionally a pleasure to see so many of our students attend with their families. I am looking forward to attending graduation on Saturday. It is always a festive day with a beautiful Liturgy, splendid lunch and impressive ceremony. I especially enjoy finally meeting the families of my students. On Monday the 11th members of SALSA (The Southern Alleghenies Learn and Serve Alliance) will be meeting on the campus of Mount Aloysius College for the 2nd Annual SALSA Workshop: “Impacting Communities through Service Learning”. I am additionally looking forward to attending this event and presenting information concerning the service learning puppetry project in my ED 320 course. Have a great summer everyone!
