Day Three - Since my job didn't have school on 2/18/08, I worked from 2/19-2/22 on our break. I worked a total of 25 hours and 20 minutes.
Total Hours: 39 hours & 20 minutes.
During these four days I did several jobs that were assigned by either my mentor or the secretary or even the support personnel. These are the three people I work with on a regular basis. Most of the time, it's really easy jobs like getting food for them during lunch or taking mail to the post office. Other times it gets more complicated like filing a lot of papers or working with students.
When I work with children, it's more like taking care of them while their teachers are on their breaks. Sometimes I even help them with classwork. But, most of the time, it's just running the office. I answer the phone, give information out about the school to visitors, and clean up my office space. As for the projec, I still haven't put much thought into it. I do, however, want to like do something about attendance rates from there compared to the attendance rates in our school. I'm not sure if this is a project that I will actually do, though.

The attendance thing is interesting, especially since you work in the office so much. Or something studying the differences/similarities between elementary school habits to high school habits...have you asked the people at your workplace if they have any ideas? They might be able to give you some ideas, especially if they know about high school environments too. Or you might talk to someone who has particular ideas about how the school should be run and how students should act, and you could compare that to what you see in high schools. There are other people doing their WLE's in elementary schools too so they might be good to talk to.
