This week was so great! My kids are so sweet and can be a little energetic and talkative. I have been seeing ways my teacher was implementing technology in her class. It's hard to see how often she's using it in one day because we are only there for a short period. She only uses it a few times when doing her literary lessons for journaling. I was able to build relationships with all my students in the first week and got to learn many new names. I also have a student who is learning english so it's such a privilege to look out the window every morning with him and connect colors with objects.
If there is one thing I can remind you all, it's that learning the kids names will help them respect you more and really show them that you pay attention. Maybe make that your goal for week two :)
Until next week,
much love, Summer.
I also have a student who is learning English, he only knows about 5 words from what I have gathered. Do you have any suggestions as for ways to communicate more clearly with him?
ReplyDeleteI also have a student who is learning English and learning to read her words. She doesn't use much English at home so making sure we practice it at school is very important. Everyday she wants to read to me, she looks forward to it, it is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI was very nervous about learning my students' names because the classroom is so diverse, but after the first week I was surprised that I had gotten them all down. The students really do appreciate that you know their name, and I've noticed they'll listen to me more closely if I refer to them by name right away when I ask them a question. They're always sure to let me know if I make a mistake on their names too!
