There has only been a few times I self advocated. The first is when I totally forgot how to use the copy machine and I had asked another teacher that was in there to help me out. I was kinda nervous but overall I am glad I asked because I did not want to be known as "the intern that broke the copy machine". Another time I self advocated was when I was just about to give a lesson but did not fully understand the structure of it. In a kindergarten class there is ALWAYS something to do! Whether your helping a kid spell or making projects for the next day. It has been very rare for Kerry or I to have free time. Coming early to school has not been a problem for me because I get dropped of at her house which then we carpool down together. We get to school everyday an hour an half early if not a little more. That might sound like a lot of time but it sure goes fast when you have to prepare for the whole day.
