My last week during field experience was a little tough. It was hard to leave them because of how much fun I had. Something I thought was kind of cool was how we started in the classroom painting, and we ended in the classroom painting. On Wednesday, I had to pull kids from class to work on painting a snowmen. It was kind of funny how into the project they got. Some of them were really serious about it, because they wanted to make it really nice for their parents. Also During the last week, on Tuesday I got to work with small groups for math. They were working on division. After teaching them a strategy of how to do it, I had them try it. It was really cool seeing them do it correctly, and see the big smile on their face after they showed me the answer. There were a couple that had a hard time with it, so during snack break I sat with them and taught the two how to do it again. They pretty much got it right away the second time teaching them and were so pumped that they now know how to do it. On my last day it was definitely hard to t
leave, I will miss all of them. It was such a great experience.
I really enjoyed your story about teaching division! I can tell through your story on here how excited those two students must have been, and how much it must have warmed your heart. I also really like how you made time to go back and go over how to do it again, some students really need that! This must have been such a wonderful experience for you, I'm sad to hear that it's over!
