Field experience

I am so sad that my field experience is over because I really enjoyed being in the classroom. The children were great and the teacher was very helpful. I really enjoyed seeing what we were learning about in class being practiced in my field experience classroom. The students were just getting comfortable with me helping them and they were way more talkative. I hate that I have to stop going right after the children start to get use to me. I enjoyed being in this classroom because the students had great imaginations and they loved to learn. My favorite time would have to be when the students were working on tree maps and they had to read a book and write down the main idea and three supporting details. After they did this they had to meet with the teacher and discuss what they had put down with other students who had read the same book. The students were discussing the book and giving each other ideas about what they should write. I thought that this was so amazing that these students could sit down and talk about these books the way that they did. Some of them also gave some connections to their lives that resembled people or things in the book. My teacher also gave fun ideas that I would like to do in my classroom some day. She also gave me advice on how to handle certain things that come up in the classroom. I truly enjoyed my time at Northwood and I have learned a lot from the teacher and her students.
