This past week of my field experience went well. It was another productive week of learning what it is like to be in the classroom. I did a read aloud this week and the story I read was part of the curriculum. I think my first read aloud definitely went well. This week I continued to do morning meetings every other day. Doing morning meeting helps build a relationship with all of the students. Morning meeting is one of the few parts of the day when most students will be in the classroom because at other times they might be pulled out for different specialist. One major learning moment for the week is how important paras are in a classroom. One day during the week a para who works one on one with a student was gone so a different para had to play that role which caused a sub para to be in the classroom and the sub didn't have the same effects on the students as the normal one and it was evident. I am learning more and more and becoming more comfortable every day that goes by in my field experience which has definitely made it a success to this point.
