Post one (week two)

I am in a kindergarten classroom and all is going quite well. One thing I have noticed so far is that my CT uses many different songs for transitions. When the students hear a certain song they know that they need to clean up and go to the rug for directions. I have also noticed that even at a kindergarten level they use a lot of technology in the classroom. My CT uses the SMART board with most lessons. She also uses iPads in her class. Since she does not have a class set different students use them each day.  I have also noticed that her morning meetings are generally the same just with different helpers. The meetings always consist of counting the days they have been in school, checking to see if anyone has lost a tooth, looking at the weather and reading the morning message. I did a read aloud this week and I think it went pretty good. The students were engaged and eager to answer my questions at the end. I also did an assessment on a student that I will be working with one on one next week during work time. We will be working on beginning phonics skills. Overall this has been a really good experience. My CT has many fresh ideas in the class, is very organized and has made me feel very welcome.
