For my service learning I picked to go to Orchard Hills Elementary school in Santaquin,UT. This school is located to the east of Santaquin. I decided to go here because my Aunt is involved in this school and she is in the area of teaching I want to go into. I want to be able to minor as being a Special Education teacher. The class that I will be helping out is the elementary's special education class. I think this is the best class to be over because it will give me the chance to expand my horizons. This class will give me more challenges and will help me get to know how to help all different kinds of students with their education. I have met her class a few times this year at random activities so I already have a sense of how the students. But that hasn't been for a long period of time so I am sure there will be surprises.
Service learning is what the two words mean, its service while you learn. This is a learning activity that will benefit me as a whole in the long run. But its an activity that doesn't involve payment for your service you provide. I guess the payment is the experience and the knowledge you will gain.
