Fall+2011+Practicum

I am placed at Norwood Elementary School with Mrs. Lori Nickelson. The school is not very large. There are about three classes for each grade level K-5. The school is located in Oliver Springs on the Highway. Mrs. Nickelson's class is very inviting. She has a lot of written informational posters all over her walls. She has three computers in her class, and does centers on Fridays. Her class is populated by twenty two students. The gender ratio is about equal. Most of the students in her class are poverty stricken kids. Norwood is ranked second for low income schools in the county. Most of the grade levels are kept together on the same side of the building. The cafeteria iskinda small, but a good size for the school. They have a computer lab, library, music class, art class, special ed classes, and CDC classes. I really like the set up of the school as a whole.
