I really have enjoyed my field experience as the first two weeks have gone by. I feel like over these first two weeks I have already learned a lot about different things in the classroom. I am in a second grade classroom and I am learning a lot from my CT. One thing I have noticed so far that is pretty surprising to me is how much technology is used in the classroom I am in. The SMART board is a main part of just about every lesson. Morning meeting takes place on the board, along with reading of stories, and other learning activities. I know that technology has been getting used more and more in the classroom but I never realized it is used as much as it is in my classroom. So far I have done three of the morning meetings that my CT does every day and have got the opportunity to work with all of the students in small groups during different literacy stations. My classroom has a vast array of different learners so nothing is every the same. One consistent factor in the classroom is the schedule that my CT has. My CT has a schedule that is nearly the same every day and every week which is very helpful to all of the students. I look forward to learning more and more as the experience goes on.
