Sonja Stapleton
Spring 2013 Best Community Photo
Sonja is a Senior Interdisciplinary Studies major with an EC-6 Generalist and EC-12 Special Education minor. She was enrolled in a READ 3372, Literacy Methods ACE course. Her community engagement experience was working at O.A. Reaves Elementary School assisting teachers. Her winning photo shows Sonja reading her self-created story to third graders, one of which was her personal mentee. During the course project, Sonja worked with her mentee to brainstorm and create his own story to share with his family and peers at an Author's Celebration. Working with the elementary students gave Sonja insights into what is needed of teachers in the market place as well as how to relate personally with the children.
