Great Feild Experience

Wednesday we went to the elementary school. I worked with the kindergarden class and it was a great time. I took a small group of children out of the class and took them around to school to measure things. They had a great time and so did I. One of the little girls wanted to measure the American flag, but I told her it was not a good idea due to the fact that it is a important object. Her response to this was, " I believe this rises to the occasion." Those kids are so funny. I had a great time and I enjoyed watching the kids learn.

Thursday: We went to the middle school to help tour the middle schoolers. I was going to help but I seen that they already had all the help they needed so instead I went to an old teacher of mine room. I helped her teach. I also tutored some kids. I enjoyed it a lot. I mainly helped the kids stay on task and pay attention. It was a great experience working with a previous teacher of mine. It was like I seen the classroom from her point of view instead of mine. All in all my feild experience was probably the best yet. I am enjoying this teaching thing a lot. I may even make a career out of it.

Just another trip.

Thursday we went to the middle school again. We finised up our handwashing lesson and the kids were sad to see us go. It was sad to leave but I have to get back to my speical education kids. I introducted my fellow teacher academy student to them and she loved them! I knew she would they are great kids.

Wednesday Kali and I decided to partner up at the middle school. We made copies for Mrs. Waguspack and Mrs. Lindsey. We also made birthday cards in the art room for a middle school teachers. All together it was another great day.

i love you , copy, staple

 Thursday we went to see the little ones again at the elementary school. We did another lesson on hand washing again. I really liked this one. We walked in and the kids were so excited to see us. First we went over the hand washing techniques and then we put on a little video for them. While they watched we put some glow stuff on the ball. When the video was over we passed the ball around. Well turns out the lotion that we put on it actually glows under a black light so we were able to show them how germs get passed around so easiley. When we were leaving a little girl came and gave me a hug and told me she loved me.

Friday we went back to the middle school. I learned that teaching requires a lot of stapling, sorting, and mostly copying. I made at least 120 copys friday and stabled over 80 papers. It was so tedious. I didn't really mind it though. I am there to help and that is what I did. I helped her a lot. It definetly saved her time by me doing it. I am actually enjoying the middle school a lot.

Squeaky Clean Memory Lane

I had a wonderful field exprience. We worked with the Health and Science students and I honestly enjoyed it. I got to read a story to the little ones and they had all these questions! They were so cute! We put glitter on their hands and some of them washed with water and the others washed with soap. Then the kids compared the difference. We taught them this little song to sing when they are washing their hands! It goes, "top and bottom .. top and bottom... In between in between .. rub it all together.. .rub it all together.. squeaky clean squeaky clean.... ." By the time we left everyone was singing and like 15 kids had pictures they drew for me.

Now here comes the fun part so friday we went to the middle school! I was so beyond excited!!! I was ready to show my old teachers how far I come ! So when we first got there we were greeted by Dr.Taylor and Mr. Aube. We talked about what was expected of us and what we were going to be doing. I really wanted Mrs.Martinez but I was told that it was her off block. I got Mrs.Brown instead but she is really nice and I can already tell me and her were going to get along great. She let me go see Mrs. Martinez and she didn't even reconize me! I told her about how good my grades were and how well I was doing. She told me how proud of me she was. I was so happy to see her. All and all I had a great day!

Field trip

I have fun. It was nice. Kids were nice. I liked the teacher there. I may start working in her class. Yay. I enjoyed barnes and noble a whole lot. I picked out a book for our classroom library and while we were there I read a book to a little girl about police officers. At chillis I actually got a really good meal ! I enjoyed the day altogether and thought it was successful over all. My favorite part though was probably the bowling ally because I got to talk to the kids. One of the kids had read the whole Harry Potter series! Thats awesome for a fourth grader ! They all did well on AR though, that is the reason we went to the bowling ally! I cannot wait to do it again.

Just another day

We went to the elementary school yesterday and my teacher wasn't there so I went to my fellow classmates classroom instead. To my surprize my little cousin was in there and the teach was kind enough to let me stay. I had a great day with my friends class and enjoyed watching my little cousin in the learning enviroment.

A new class

Yesterday was our first trip to the elementery school since Christmas.  We all were placed in new classes. I was placed in Kindergarden was Mrs.Lott. I was so nervous ! When I first came in the kids were a bit rude but I got over it. I do miss my other class a lot but I guess I will have to make the best of it. I did find that I will probably be a lot busier in her class. They're a lot of kids in that class. I am prepared for a busy semester.
