Hello everyone! Today is the last day of our field experiences! I hope that all of you had wonderful experiences! My views on kindergarten have completely changed. I never thought that I would ever want to teach a grade lower than 3rd grade. Once I was done with this experience, I decided that I absolutely want to teach kindergarten. I have fallen in love with this grade level and felt so comfortable being in this field. I got the chance to work with some amazing students and I am so grateful. On my last day I received letters from students saying they will miss me. I also had a student tell me that they love me. I am going to miss these children a lot because I was able to connect with each and every one of them. This experience was so rewarding and I will never forget the skills I learned from working with my CT. I learned so much about classroom management as well as how to keep the children active and engaged in their learning. I hope everyone had truly amazing experiences and I am looking forward to seeing you all back in class!

That is awesome how this field experience has changed your mind of how you feel about teaching younger grades now. Glad to hear you had a great experience. When I did my field experience, for my SPED 200 class in the kindergarten classroom, I thought the same but after that experience I wouldn't mind being in a kindergarten classroom either.
ReplyDeleteJon, I completely agree. My field experience was with third graders and that made me decide that I want to be with younger students. I did not really like the grade level that I was placed with and am kind of sad that I didn't get to experience something similar to yours with little kindergardeners. I am glad that you had a positive experience!!
