Field Experience Week 3

Well, it is over now and I can't believe how fast the last three weeks went. Well, Kara and I finished up teaching our lessons yesterday. We taught a unit on Native Americans. It was interesting because we were placed in a extended day school in a core class. The core class is where math and language arts are taught. The teacher was able to meet our social studies needs by having us teach the students how to write a research paper on Native Americans. We were able to get a glimpse of what we will be learning in our language arts class next semester. We were also required to teach some language arts. I feel like I learned many new tricks and found some fun educational games I would like to use in my own class. I really am going to miss working with students. I am not real excited about writing the 1,000 page papers (or what seems like 1,000 pages) we are required to finish the semester, but I have a lot to write about so I better get started! See y'all on Monday!

Field Experience Week 2

We just finished up the second week of our field experience. We will be back on campus at UVU before we know it. I have been having a great time in the classroom. Our cooperating teacher is a great example for us. He show great respect to his students. It has been really fun to see how respect contributes to a synergetic classroom. We have been teaching some lessons, having a great time, and learning a lot in the process. I am looking forward to another week of field work. I know I am learning things I couldn't learn sitting in lectures. I hope things are going well for everyone else. I am really looking forward to hearing about your experiences. Have a great week!

Field Experience Week 1

It is the first week in the field and I am having a blast. I have always loved being able to observe other teachers. I get great ideas that I can't wait to use in my own classroom. I love kids and spending more time with them confirms what I have believed for so long, I want to be a school teacher. It is beginning to feel real. It won't be long and I will get to have a class of my own. I am so excited!
Kara and I have spent the first week mostly observing and helping students. Next week we will start teaching some lessons. There is so much to do as a teacher and I am just trying to learn as much as I can so that I can be a successful teacher.
Hello to everyone in 10-2 cohort A. I miss getting to see everyone. Hope everything is going well for ya'll. I can't wait to hear all of your cool experiences.
