Welcome to Rutgers Camden ! 2011

Hope you all had a good summer and are ready for the "school year" to begin. Many of you will be student teaching this year and I wish you the very best as you begin that experience. I hope you have a great cooperating teacher and great classes.

We met many new students yesterday at the Orientation activity on campus and several transfer students interested in becoming teachers. We hope to keep this student organization alive, so we are looking for a few "good men and women" to participate!

If you would like to join SNJEA you can contact Debra Park at debpark@rutgers.camden.edu
It is only $10 to get involved in the campus activities but for $42 you can join the New Jersey Education Association and benefit from the resources that teachers do including the NJEA Convention in Atlantic City!

Check out the website for SNJEA and you will see that our chapter is highlighted on the main page! Thanks to Jaime Sia who worked really hard to get the chapter up and running.

We need students to PARTICIPATE in a meeting once a month (which we can hold during the free period) and we need students who would like to become Officers to organize the meetings, help with planning activities and to attend Rutgers Nuts and Bolts sessions for all campus student organizations (once a semester).

I teach on campus Mondays and Wednesdays in Armitage at 1:20,  room 101, and also on Wed. evenings at 6pm. You can usually find me in the Teacher Prep PTL office in the basement of Armitage between 3pm and 4pm on Wednesdays. Stop by if you have any questions about teaching or are interested in SNJEA.

HOPE TO MEET YOU SOON!

Our trip to Henry A Brown elementary has finally come and gone....

and what a rewarding experience it was!

Not only were the principal, teacher support supervisor, teachers, and students very excited and appreciative of our generous donation (about 1500 books!!!) and $175.00 which will give them 116 more books!! It was just the moral booster we needed to keep on truckin' toward our degree considering the "political climate" in NJ right now.  Reading to the students reinforced in us that this is what we want to do!!

Thanks to everyone who participated & and big thanks to Kappa Delta Pi's and it's President, Eugene Grear (and RU-SNJEA's new Membership Chair) for joining us in this book drive and event!!  Hopefully this can become a yearly event!
