Last Day of Field Experience

I cannot believe today was our last day in our classrooms! It went by way faster than I thought it would. I remember on the first day we were there, our CT told us that it would be over before we knew it and that couldn't be more true! My partner and I made bookmarks as a goodbye gift for our students. Our entire morning is pretty much devoted to literacy and reading, so we have spent a lot of time focusing on reading skills with our students. We thought that a bookmark would be fun gift that they could remember us by, since they will use it everyday! Our students also had cards prepared for us and were really sweet when it was time to say goodbye. Our CT said that to say goodbye the students could either high-five, handshake, or hug. Every one gave us hugs and some of the students that gave us the most difficulty ended up giving us the biggest and longest hugs! I am really going to miss going there everyday and watching them improve!

  1. What absolutely perfect gift leave for the students! My second graders have plenty of literacy learning, too. (120 minutes a day to be exact.) They even read all the time right before school started, so I know those bookmarks definitely will be put to good use. Then, to receive a gift is more than you probably asked for but truly shows how much they cared for you. Then, I feel the same exact way when you say, "I am really going to miss going there every day and watching them improve." Just even assessing them and seeing them improve from the first trimester over to the second trimester made me feel that heartwarming fire inside. Lastly, if you could say your favorite part of this whole experience, what would have it been and why?
