Week 3

Week 3 I got to be a lot more involved in the classroom. During this week I did 2 read alouds and 2 morning meetings. It was very cool to take the teachers role in the classroom during morning meeting and to write my own message. The two books I read to the class were different versions of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The children are working on venn diagrams and noticing similarities and differences between the original story and the different versions that I read. Both days that I got to read and do morning meeting went very smoothly. I looked to the children to help me because I wanted them to feel very involved. I really stressed getting all of their opinions on their favorite book that was read to them and I really tried to make it fun for them as I used different voices for all of the bears and Goldilocks while reading. It has been interesting to see their personalities come out as they have grown more and more comfortable with me and my partner in the classroom. These field experiences definitely let me know that I chose the correct career path. It is so rewarding being able to help these kids and be around them.
