My First Two Weeks

I cannot believe that the first two weeks of field experience are over! I've already grown really close with all the students in my classroom, and have learned so much from them and my CT! I'm so glad we have the opportunity to be placed in a new school district, because I come from a very small town and haven't had the chance to work with individuals with such varied backgrounds until now.
My classroom consists of 21 students, varying between the ages of 5-6. Kindergarten is such a fun/challenging grade to work with. Students come in with different levels of reading, writing and math skills, so some of them require more one-on-one time, which is where I usually come in! It's so incredibly rewarding to see the excitement on a child's face when they get the right answer. I think I get even more excited than they do! My CT does a great job keeping the students busy, while also challenging them. I'm astonished at what these kids are learning at such a young age. The future is bound to be bright with students as smart as these ones! I look forward to coming into class each and everyday, I think I'm learning just as much as the kindergartners. Overall, this field experience is turning out to be one of the best experiences of my life!
