My time in the field this second week was very limited. I actually had snow days Monday through Wednesday, so Thursday was my only time with the children. On Thursday however, more than half of the class was absent, so I was able to spend time with only four children in which we watched part of a video.
I thought that adding a link with information regarding my school and their program might be beneficial since I do not have much to talk about for this week:
I am looking forward to the coming weeks in the field because Miss Amy has told me of several topics we are going to cover. Since the children missed their valentine parties and such, they will be doing more with that and also starting to learn about the food pyramid. In preparation for my teaching of a lesson, I will be able to observe Miss Amy teach something to her class. I am excited for this opportunity which will be different from my experience in her room so far.
Field Hours: 2
Support Hours: 1
Well, even though you had snow days, at least you were able to do some work with individuals and get to know your students more. I was surprised that you said so many students were absent on Thursday since it was Valentine’s Day (my students wouldn’t miss it if they were sick because they want candy). It will be interesting to see what children their age have to say about the food pyramid and what they will eat and not eat. Hopefully you will get to enjoy a make-up Valentine’s party. Good luck teaching your lesson!
