Manoucheca Desruisseaux is proposing a senior project where she will observe and assist in a preschool classroom. She will create lesson plans and teach the preschool class for a month. Her product will be a scrapbook of projects created by the students during her lessons. This project will connect to a career in early childhood education and be a learning stretch for Manoucheca as she has not created her own lesson plans before. She estimates the project will cost $50 which she and her parents will fund. Her facilitator will be Courtney Norris who has over a year of experience working at the preschool.

All questions must be completed thoroughly to receive approval for your Senior Project. Some
projects will be submitted to a committee for final approval. This form must be completed and
returned to your senior English teacher by Friday, August 17, `2012. You will not be allowed to
change your topic after October 12, 2012.
The Senior Project is subject to the plagiarism policies set forth by the district and Creekview High
School.
1) Describe the overall topic of your Senior Project.
For my senior project, I plan on using the knowledge I gain from observing a classroom by
teaching a preschool class, and making a scrapbook of the things the students create under my
supervision.
2) What is your previous experience in this area of study?
I have assisted in teaching a lesson at my church, but I have never created my own lesson plan and
applied to the students.
3) To what career will you connect this project (required)?
I will connect this to Early Childhood Education
4) Describe what you are proposing to do for your Product step-by-step and in detail. Write on the
back of this sheet if necessary.
1. First, I will observe my facilitator at the pre-school for a certain number of weeks.
2. During those weeks, I will be setting up a lesson plan for the students. The lesson plan will
include, but is not limited to: Phonics, Writing, Numbers, etc.
3. After I get the lesson plan approved, I will teach the class for about a month, then will do a
project with them; for example: have the students write a sentence, and draw a picture to go with it.
4. I will create a scrapbook of a few of the projects made in the class as my product.
5) How is this project a “learning stretch” and a challenge for you?
This project is a learning stretch for me because I’ve never had to create my own lesson and teach
it, so it will be challenging to create an interesting plan that will keep the attention of the students
while being educational.
6) What are your estimated costs for completing the Product, and how will you fund these costs?
My estimated cost is about $50 for creating the scrapbook for my product, and I will be paying for
this on my own and with the help of my parents.
7) Who have you chosen (or are considering choosing) as your Project Facilitator?
Courtney Norris
8) What is this person’s expertise in this field? Courtney Norris has been working for over a year at
The Carpenter's Shop Christian Pre-School where I plan on teaching,.
