Dear Families,
My name is
Katie Atterton and I will be working as a student teacher in your child’s
classroom for the next ten weeks. I am in the fourth and final year of my
Bachelor of Education Degree and I will be graduating this December from the
University of Notre Dame in Fremantle.
I’m so
grateful for the opportunity to complete my final placement at Wattle Grove
Primary School alongside Mrs Szczepanik in her wonderful year three class. I will be working with the
students in your child's class in various capacities with both small group and
whole class teaching across various learning areas. My teaching load and
responsibilities with the students will gradually increase over the course of
the term.
During
my previous student teaching placements I have taught kindergarten and
pre-primary aged children, I’m eager to gain experience working with year three
students. My background includes many years working in childcare and tutoring
high school students who were behind in their literacy skills. Throughout my
placement at Wattle Grove I hope to create a learning environment that fosters
imagination and creativity, a space where students feel safe, supported and
experience a sense of belonging. I’m passionate about building a community of
learners that facilitates student’s collaborative engagement together and
encourages them to reach their fullest potential.
I am truly looking forward to beginning my student teaching position at
Wattle Grove Primary School. I believe this term will be full of learning, not only
for the students but for myself as well! Thank you for this opportunity.
Sincerely,
Katie Atterton
