Hello everyone!
The first two weeks of our field experience were amazing. It is so nice to be in the classroom again. I enjoy working with the children and accepting the challenges of getting to know the children on a personal level so I can work with them accordingly. The first couple weeks I really concentrated on memorizing all of the kids names and picking up on the strategies my teacher used with the all of the children. I did some one on one reading and some small group work on math assignments. The children make it enjoyable to come in every single day as they are so happy to see me and my field experience partner. The first couple weeks were not what I would call challenging, but more interesting. There are several kids with learning disabilities in our classroom and it is very cool to watch my teacher work extra hard to make sure they remain on the same level as everyone in the classroom. My teacher is such a good teacher and has definitely become someone I want to strive to teach like.
Glad everything is going well. Did you get a chance to work with any of the of the students with LDs? What kind of strategies does your teacher use to make sure they are at the same level?

ReplyDeleteSounds like your having a great experience in your classroom. It's great that you are getting to know your students I feel this is a great way to get kids to feel comfortable. It's also great to hear that your teacher cares about her students and puts in the time to help the students with learning disabilities.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that your filed experience is going well. I also tried to get to know students which is very important and called them by their names. I had a hard time memorizing all students' names. Your homeroom teacher's effort to take care of students with disability is admirable. I hope you learn a lot from your homeroom teacher for the rest of your field experience.
