Post #3.
It is sad to see hear and see that it is our last week. The kids have grown so much while we have been there, not only in their literacy, but their interaction with us as student teachers. I hope that as we work one-on-one with the students, that they will be able to take the information they learned and apply it to their everyday life. As I mentioned in the first blog post, the children are like sponges, grasping any information we give them. As I am nearing the end I realized that they are taking the information we taught them, and using it outside on the playground and at home. I love to see that even our "lower" level students are coming such a long way with their reading. I am sad that it is our last week, but excited to see what the future holds!

I agree, Rachel! My students have grown so much in these five week with their subjects, interactions with us, and attitudes! It's crazy how fast they can change and much we can learn within this time. It was nice having you and Stephanie next door!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite aspects of field experience this semester was the same as your final one listed, successful improvement with lower level readers. One of my ELL students craved reading although he struggled with most any book he began. I had him start writing down words he had trouble sounding through and we worked on them the next day. I wish I got to experience a little more of the visual absorption concepts your students took from you. If anything the most I received was some of the talkative boys mimicking silly voices I used during some read aloud times, although those times did provide instant smiles.
