Week five concludes the time in my
field experience, and I will definitely miss the students in my class. I have
learned a plethora of information from observing and helping out in this
classroom, which I hope will help me to become a successful educator in the
future. In the past week, there were a few guest teachers who came to teach the
class and both the students and the guest teachers had to learn from each other
and realize that things may be a bit different from the student’s regular
routine. At times the class was pretty chaotic because there was not a ton of
structure within the classroom when a new guest teacher came in. The guest
teachers did not really have a plan or an idea of how the student’s regular
routine went, so the classroom environment was difficult at times. Even though
the last few days of my experience was not what I was expecting, I have learned
a lot and would not have traded the experience for any other!
That is one thing I realized being in my classroom without structure kids go crazy, plus I realized how important transitions are because without them kids have their own mind of doing things their own way. Also it is funny how sometimes when you do have structure, when you miss something one day the kids know it immediately. I have my students remind my teacher what to do, which is quite nice in my opinion because we have so much going on in our mind.
