So, I have been really sick for the last two weeks but I did manage to get some hours for my practicum completed!
I was a moderator at the Northeast Georgia Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl Regional Competition at Clarke Middle School in Athens. Usually I coach a team, but this year I have not had time because it is my last year of school. While I was not an official coach, I still ran practices with the team at my school occasionally.
I was a moderator for the middle school competition because I did not want to jeopardize my high school teams chance of winning. My duties included reading the rules before every round, reading the questions and deciding whether the answer given was correct or incorrect.
I had a lot of fun! I have always loved Reading Bowl and I missed being involved this year, so I was really glad to be able to volunteer. I was so proud of my county at the Award Ceremony. Two of our elementary schools got first and second place, our middle school competed admirably and our high school got first place! That means that our two elementary schools and the high school team will compete on the 26th at the competition near Statesboro! I am going to that competition. I have made myself available to volunteer, but I have not been asked yet.
I hope that my team continues to the next competition!
