My first and second weeks in the field have gone very
smoothly thus far, and the students have made me feel very welcomed. One thing
that has been really eye-opening for me has been how diverse their classroom
is. Within the class, the majority of students are English language learners. In
my previous experiences I have never been in a classroom that has had so many
students who have English as a second language, so it has been informative to
see how teaching can be accomplished in this classroom in ways that connect to
all of the students. A majority of what I have been doing in the class so far
has included quite a bit of observing as well as helping students during
different stations throughout the morning literacy lessons. My first and second
weeks went well, so I hope the experience continues to be a positive one!
The school i'm at is also very diverse and also has been very eye opening. There are a lot of ELL students in my class and I help them learn to read and practice their words and it's been challenging but the students are getting better and better each day.
