Post #3

This is the last week of our field experience. Our cooperating teacher starts to use a new method to help developing classroom rules. She will put marshmallows into a paper cup when these children can fix their body, perform well in class and keep quiet in the hallway. Every student can get a cup of hot chocolate once the paper cup is full of marshmallows. So students can control their behavior for an attractive goal.

During the morning meeting, students share what they did on Thanksgiving Day by using their new star word “and”. Every time teacher needs to make more examples for students to understand how to use new star word in sentence. During this week's morning meeting, the class have a sharing about things we did in class that they want to thank for. It makes us laugh a lot when most of them want to say thanks for tying their shoes. 

I really enjoy the last time of my field experience. However, it makes me sad that we are going to leave them when we start to feel we are a part of them.
