I think it is so great that you have the opportunity to intern at a kindergarten this quarter. It must be nice comparing and contrasting your elementary school education to theirs. Furthermore, I think that it is great that this classroom has a school psychologist come in and teach children about character development. I feel like nowadays schools and educational institutions are so caught up on teaching students academic subjects (such as math, english, and science) and preparing them for state tests; what they fail to realize is that these same students need to build social skills as well — in order to be functional, contributing members of the society.

Nice reflections! I also loved learning about AIM, and I believe that its objectives and goals are great. It allows children to disentangle from a typical classroom setting and focus on character development in a fun and interactive way. I also did not have interactive stories that helped me develop socially, but I wish I did!
