Hey everyone! I hope your second week on the field was as memorable as mine was! I had the chance to do my very first read aloud which was about shapes. The book was called Shapes all Around and taught the students about all the different kinds of shapes that they may come across in their everyday lives. It was amazing getting the chance to do a read to the class because I have never had the opportunity to do one before in previous classrooms. The teacher had me text her later that day about three positives as well as two negatives about the read aloud. She believes that getting to grade myself will be more rewarding and I will benefit from it more later down the road. I had so much fun this week because I began working one-on-one with students in the classroom. My CT had me use flash cards with pictures on them and ask the children how many syllables are in each of the pictures. I had a lot of fun getting the chance to work one-on-one with students which also helped me learn names even quicker. I am having an absolute blast getting to work in this classroom and I hope that everyone is having an amazing field experience as well!
