Post 4 Week 5

It makes me so sad that this is the last week of field experience. I feel like I have made a lot of connections with the students and I feel like I didn't get enough time with them. My CT said that he would be okay if I still came in after my classes were over and I am very excited about that because I would love to continue going. Also the chicked hatched and all of the kids are so excited. They had a hard time focusing on their schoolwork though because they all wanted to sit and stare at the chicks. On Friday they each got to hold a chick and their reactions were so cute. They were all so excited and my CT had them praciticing how to calm their bodies so they wouldn't scare the chicks. My CT does such a great job with his classroom management and I have found myself taking notes to keep track of things that he does that I would like to do in my future classroom. I couldn't have been more lucky to have been placed in the classroom that I was placed in. I got along great with my CT, the para and the students. It was one of the best experiences that I have had in a classroom setting and I know that I learned so much from my CT. Also on Friday we had a little going away party for me and my partner and we brought in treats for the students so we got to eat cookies and go outside and play and it was a lot of fun. It was such a bittersweet goodbye (even though I know I'll be going back in like 2 weeks). I'm already counting down the days until I get to go back!
