I cannot believe that this is the final week of our very first field experience. It felt like it went by in the blink of an eye. With this being the last week of field experience my teacher asked my field experience partner and I if we would be okay with planning and instructing all of the Morning Meetings for the final week. My partner and I jumped on the opportunity! Our teacher gave us our prep time on Friday to start planning for the next week ahead. She also gave us a Morning Meeting book full of ideas that we could take and implement into our next week. My partner and I took planning that Morning Meetings for the week day-by-day. We knew that it would be hard to plan for a week of meetings without knowing exactly what was going to be taught the day before that way we could tie how we started our day into what our students had previously learned. We are getting to implement old tasks that our teacher uses daily as well as come up or introduce new ideas into our morning meetings as well, making sure to follow the routine that our teacher has already put into place when instructing their morning meeting.
I am so grateful that our teacher has given us the opportunity to plan and prepare our very own morning meetings for the last week of our experience, to me it shows that our teacher is putting their trust into us to instruct our morning meeting to their standards.
It has been a pleasure to be apart of the classroom that I am in and I am beyond thrilled to have gotten the opportunity to actively participate and be involved in this field experience! I cannot wait to see what the rest of my education has in store for me!
I am jealous that you got to plan and conduct a full week of morning meetings during this field experience! I do have one question for you: what are a few greetings that you discovered while planning?
ReplyDeleteI AM SO JEALOUS! Planning a week of Morning Meetings sounds fantastic! Like you mentioned above, this shows that your CT has faith in your teaching abilities! (which we all know that you'll be a fabulous teacher one day). I think along with our mandatory read-clouds we should also be in charge of a morning meeting lesson. Just because we spent so much time on it in ED315.
