The first week of my field experience went so smoothly and it was so much fun. The first week was mainly focusing on getting used to the new environment and learning the students names. I got to see how the teacher implements technology in her classroom and it was so great to see how much the students for only being in 1st grade. I have already got such good advice from my cooperating teacher that will help me be a better teacher. There are some kids in the classroom who have a hard time listening to the directions and the strategies she uses with them to keep them focused is something that will help me someday in my classroom. Everyday we practice our literacy reading and there is a student in my class where she struggles with her English so everyday this week she has read to me and we've been working on it together and I can already tell she is making progress which makes me so happy. I got to do some paint projects with the students and that was a good time to get to know each of them a little more. All the students are starting to open up and starting to build that relationship with me which is so fun.
I hope everyone had a great first week! :)
I also spent a lot of time learning students names this week. I enjoy hearing that you're witnessing a student make progress right before your eyes. I haven't had the chance to experience that yet, however, I'm hoping to! I hope your next few weeks go well!
