EJ Russell Elementary School In the fall of 2020 I student taught at EJ Russell Elementary School for my final semester of undergraduate studies. I worked at the school building everyday and taught both virtual and in person classes. Most of the art classes were virtual with meetings occurring over Google Classroom, but most combined classes for special education students met every week in person. Part way through my student teaching experience my Cooperating Teacher had to go on leave and I took over all of her remaining classes till the end of my semester. This opportunity allowed me to really push myself to work hard and create lessons for grades Kindergarten through fifth grade. I gained so much knowledge from my Cooperating Teacher, the substitute who came in to work with me, and the administration staff at the school. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity I was given to work at this school.
