Math scores

When my CT first starting giving out subtraction timed test, the scores were greatly vaired. Some students were able to get close to a 90 out of 100 on the first test, while others could only get 4. It was truely shocking to me that you can have a range of 80 points in one class. I sat down with students who were consistently getting low scores. After working with them week after week, I could see their scores improve. I felt so proud of them and myself, I was just beeming inside.

Last Day

I loved my time in the classroom; this experience has only reinforced my love for teaching and for children. I learned so much from my CT and from my students. The last day my partner and I gave out treats to the students, while they each gave us a card and a hug as we left. I can not believe how time flys, it feels like it was just last week that we all started our field experience, and now its over. I hope to go back over break and see every one again.

coming to a close...

With the field experience over, it is incredible to look back on everything I have learned. There are so many aspects of running a classroom that I never thought about. I learned strategies for everything from nose-picking to dealing with tantrums to working with students at very different levels. It was incredibly sad to leave the classroom and I will miss all of the students very much, but I am happy to have learned so much about myself as a teacher from them!

Learning

I learned tons from both the students and my CT. I learned from the students that they like routine in their daily life and when the teacher changes things and does something way different, they have a hard time adjusting. I learned that the students genuinely like to work together and share ideas with one another. From my CT, I learned that the most important thing is to be able to think on your feet. Another quality I noticed about my CT is to be understanding of the differences that each student has.

Reflection on FE

i cant believe that we are starting classes tomorrow. i wish that i could have spent more time in my classroom. i had the Best CT and a fantastic classroom. i don't believe that it could have been a better experience. when i look back i feel that the kids who gave me the hardest time taught me the most. i feel that i truly want to be a primary teacher.

Last day

i cant believe i made it through this day with out crying. the class gave me a good bye card and hugs before they got on the bus. i cant believe that it went so fast. i wish i could stay at that school forever.. Do i really need to go back to classes? lol

Our CT

I had a wonderful time getting to know our CT and learning from her all that I could. She has taught me so much about myself and how I interact with the students that I cannot see myself. It was great to have that outside perspective and voice telling me what should maybe be done differently or what was done well. I will take what she has/had to say into consideration when working with future students. I appreciate everything she has done for me in the time we were with her and will never forget it. I thank her from the bottom of my heart.
