So today was the first day of my field experience. I was so excited to see my old teacher again and say hello to her students! My experience went by really fast but that was because I was having so much fun!
I was just excited as the last time. Many of the students were happy to see me again and I help my teacher fix their grammar on their writing prompts. I was very happy when my teacher talked to me about what she does as a teacher and how she keeps children active (GO NOODLE) and always doing their work and not causing issues by using a program called classroom dojo (classroom dojo is a internet program that allows parents see what their child is up to how good they are being). I have learned a lot from my experience today.
There was a sub today and the children would not listen to him. I was sort of having fun still even though one of the students told me that a couple kids hated me. The lesson the sub taught was quite confusing to the students and to me too.
There was a sub again and the children actually listened. I sort of taught a lesson and they loved it! I made sure I projected my voice. The day went really well and I stayed thirty minutes after to help instruct the kids on their reading, writing, and vocabulary. I was sad when I left because most of the students came up to hug me and did not want me to leave for once.
Mrs. Deyo was finally back! I was very happy about this and for the first time, I was actually hugged by a bunch of children because they "missed me". I always show up during writing but I didn't know that I was going to read a book to the children but I did and it went pretty bad in my opinion because there were so many tongue twisters and I could not keep up. I could have went a little slower with it so I would not have as much trouble. Other than me struggling to read, the day went good and I did my usual duties of helping the children with writing.
Today was a very slow day. I didn't do too much but watch the lessons that were being taught by my teacher. I was quite exhausted and the children seemed to not like me at all today and I do not even know why but oh well.
As always the children are glad to see me. I watched a language arts lesson and then they went to the gym to do their thanksgiving show. So when they went to that I decided to leave early and visit my old teachers. I had some time left over so I went to visit Shane as well and the nurses recognized me(I'm not really shocked because I was always in there for all of my complaints that do not make sense because I just did not want to be in class).
I felt like I have not seen the class is forever. Today was the first time I have seen science (my teacher was nice enough to swap her schedule around so I can other subjects). I was busy the whole time and I loved doing the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) projects with the students! I liked it so much that I was thinking about doing one for my formal observation. It was really fun to figure out different ways to make sure your project is successful. This was pretty amusing because students got really creative with it.
I had a pretty good day I would say because Mrs. Deyo showed me math today. I love math and love grading it more. A noticed two of the students talking and laughing and I asked what was so funny and then I caught on to them both having a crush on me and then refused to make any form of talking to me. I noticed some of the students needed extra help understanding subtraction and I actually saw improvement as I helped. I was quite happy over them finally getting it right!
Today was an insane day because the students were excited to see me, but there is also a new student coming tomorrow. Ms. Deyo looked like she was having a tough time with the kids today and I probably could have helped her handle the situation by telling them to be quiet. At least the kids did their work and completed it though. I felt happy and excited to be back to the class though!
The students were surprised to see me today because I was there yesterday. I think I helped the students a little too much with their grammar. I shouldn't of made their corrections for them but helped them think of what they did wrong. I think the day went well other than some of the students who kept talking constantly.
Today I taught a math lesson and I was nervous because I really did not know what to do but Ms. Deyo really helped me with the process. Something I would have changed was probably going through the lesson a little slower. I spoke fast because I wanted to get it done and over with. At least it was not my formal lesson though.
I did another lesson but I was more at ease. I got more into it and gave the class some of my energy (not like they had enough). I wish I went over names again because I felt really bad when I didn't know that many. I wish that I wasn't so nervous before and I'm glad the children did their work and listened. Today was an overall great day and better than the last time I taught.
Today I was sort bored because the students were taking a test and then went to library. I didn't do much and there is nothing I can really change about that but I wish I could've thought to cut Mrs. Deyo's stuff out sooner so I wasn't doing nothing for the first half.
I was quite happy today even though I didn't do much again. My teacher and her students got me a Christmas gift and I wore my new festive socks for the rest of the time (my feet were cold anyways). If there is one thing I could change it would be that I could've cut faster by folding the paper which I didn't think about till the last 10 minutes. I've gotten much better at helping students with their writing but I still have to ask Mrs. Deyo about what she expects out of them.
I was very tired today from going to bed at midnight so I wasn't in the best of moods. I should have been a lot more happier because my mood reflected most of the students. My mood changed towards the end because one of the students gave me a card. I was quite happy and my mood definitely changed the students because they began to smile a lot more. One thing I could have changed would be my mood in the beginning.
Today was not really a good day because the students were really talkative and I attempted to help ms. Deyo stop the side conversations. The students would not stop asking me questions about my personal life when I was grading their work and instead of answering I should of not answered them. I tried helping ms. Deyo multiple times by telling them stories about my class when ms. Deyo had me and they immediately got quiet because they did not want to have their heads down on their desks for 10 minutes.
Today went by really slow and I don't know why. I did part of Ms. Deyo's science lesson today and I think it went pretty well. One thing I would have changed was to address the students who were talking the whole time. Most of the students called out instead of raising their hands and I did not say anything and allowed it to happen when I should not have. I also wish I could have been not as precise when I asked questions. A lot of the students had good answers but I went along with what it said on Ms. Deyo's packet instead of thinking about their answers. I did not think I met Ms. Deyo's expectations while teaching because I wanted perfection.
This is an excellent reflection! Try not to be so hard on yourself, though. You are doing a great job recognizing where you need to improve and that is a skill that will make you an amazing teacher!
I had my formal lesson today and I was not really sure how I felt but more excited then anything else. I probably should have put the mouse down when I did not want to go to the next slide because I accidentally kept clicking. I was having a tough time trying to get the students under control because they would not stop talking. I felt that I should have been much louder but my voice could only go to a certain point. I could have changed the way I got them silent like suggested after my lesson so they did not hear the same thing constantly. I should have made the height lower than suggested for the snowmen because they were having trouble trying to meet the height I wanted. I felt like my lesson went very well though because the students seemed to have had a good time making their STEM's and that was my goal.
Today was not going to be as bad as I anticipated. The students were calm and I sort of forgot about my headache as it went on. As always they were excited to see me but they were as on top of me as they were the other days. I sort of tried to push myself into being happy as I graded their work because I did not want them to think they were doing bad.
I was very happy today and I don't know why but because of my mood the students all were happy. I did what I usually did but I added pizzazz to it. When I read their papers I added a funny voice to go along with it and whenever they misspelled I would say how it was spelt. I had a good time but that was only because I came into the class with a good mood.
I was pretty sad today because I knew I was gonna miss everyone. Ms. Deyo loved the gift I made her and I got surprised with gifts from the students (I felt so bad because I didn't get them anything). I am so glad that I got to do this experience and I am going to continue to visit the class whenever I get the chance.
I don't know if I did this right

ReplyDeleteHow would you have changed it? Why do you think it was confusing? Remember to be more reflective.
