The past few days leading up to today has been sad because I wish the field experience was longer. I had a great learning experience in my kindergarten classroom. There were a few rough times where it was hard to manage a few of the students that have concentration issues. My CT was a great role model to observe her classroom management skills. I really will miss these students. I really enjoyed the opportunity of teaching literacy groups, and am thankful that block 1 and 2 have these field experiences that prepare us for student teaching. Although I had one setback when I got a speeding ticket on my way to the school.

I haven't had much experience with kindergarten age students, so this was a great experience to be able to observe and teach in my classroom. I really enjoyed doing the read a loads to the class. Today at the library I read 3 books for my students. At the end of the day when I was preparing to leave, I received many hugs. Just leaving the school for the last time I already miss them. Both my ED200 and this field experience have been absolutely great and I look forward to block 2 field experience and student teaching.

I hope everyone else has had a similar experience filled with valuable learning lessons and helpful observations and CT's to prepare you for student teaching. See you all on Friday!
