Wow was I nervous. I almost forgot how to talk to young kids but it all came back to me when the first kid came through the door. After a 50 cent tour of the class room I was ready to start the day. The student showed me all the books in Mrs. Samuelsons' library and recomended a few to me that I decided to read during "stop, drop, and read". "The Paper Bag Princess" was about a princess who was going to get married to a prince that she didn't like at all. When the princess' castle gets attacked by a dragon all of her possessions including clothes gets burned to the ground and the only thing she has left is a paper bag to wear. When the prince sees her in the paper bag he is disgusted and calls off the wedding which was a blessing in disguise to the princess.
Once I got some one-on-one teaching time with the students I was really happy to help. I liked the ability to put so much confidence in the students who were struggling. Hopefully it changes the students attitude toward the subjects that they are struggling in.
Cole,
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see that your field experience is off to a great start. There are a few blog posts missing in your blog journal. Can you work to add the news article reflections each week? One should be local and one national. I enjoyed reading through your work!
