IN Brentwood-Baldwin-Whitehall Summer 2017 | Page 78

Brentwood Borough School District This spring, Elroy Elementary School welcomed six student teachers from Duquesne University. Ms. Mallory Accamando (third grade), Ms. Caroline Connors (first grade), Ms. Jamie Niemiec (first grade), Ms. Caroline Plante (first grade), and Ms. Jessica Walker (second grade) joined Elroy teachers starting in January. They all completed their student teaching in April. Ms. Danielle Wenger (second grade) joined Elroy in March after completing part of her student teaching abroad in Ireland. She will remain until June. The student teachers worked very hard alongside their cooperating teachers to plan and deliver instruction, differentiate lessons, and create exciting learning experiences! They used research to bring and incorporate new teaching techniques. All student teachers have made plans to return for special school events at the end of the year. The Elroy teachers and students were excited to have these excellent teacher candidates join them this spring. Elroy was fortunate to have such enthusiastic student teachers that brought new learning and teaching ideas to our teachers and students. We wish them lots of luck in their future teaching careers. 76 Brentwood-Baldwin-Whitehall
