  11-17-2021      This week the students have been working on landform presentations. Each group of 2 put together a powerpoint of a chosen landform and would present it later in the week. It was very interesting to watch the students put together a google slide presentation and work with a partner. The presentations were awesome to watch, this is the first presentation they have done and presented in front of the class. A lot of the students were very nervous because they have never had to do this, but they all did great and gave very good information of their landform. I noticed that when Brayden was presenting his project that he has blamed his partner 3 times for information that he thought would be incorrect.. Brayden struggles with being wrong and wants conformation from his teachers often. I have been working with him on asking 3 students before the teacher (this will allow him to get conformation), but he is still struggling with realizing that it is okay to ...

October 28th   b.         Overview of your weekly experience including attendance at meetings, teaching, observations of and interviews with related service providers, etc.      This week I was able to work with students painting pumpkins for a pumpkin contest. I felt this was important and helped me build rapport with my students. I was able to walk around and help students paint their pumpkins and it was interesting how each student had a unique way of painting their pumpkins. Some students would use a lot of paint and some students were very carful about the amount of paint they applied. Some students would use lighter colors and some students only used light colors.

I really enjoyed working with the students one on one and seeing their creativity and having them share their thoughts on their pumpkins. This project allowe...

          Wednesday (9/29) was my first day at my field experience, I am at New Boston in a 4th grade classroom. It was so exciting to meet the kids that I am going to be with for my field experience. On Wednesday I was able to meet with the aid in the classroom and she was able to give me a lot of background information on each of the students. This was very valuable since it would have taken me several weeks or months to gather this kind of information.  This week I got to take students to recess and be on duty during that time. It was awesome to see what the kids made of recess because they only had three footballs and they played on the concrete in the parking lot. During recess it is combined with 4th, 5th and 6th grade and it was awesome to see how the kids all played together and had a great time with only three footballs. This was a great experience because I was able to observe all the children in my class and see how they were interacting wit...
