reflection

Today was our field experience and I am with the 6-8 kids. Usually, my teacher teaches math, but today, I switched with another teacher who was teaching writers workshop. The teacher covered the three main points as expressed in "Reading with Meaning". She began with a mini lesson about using detail in writing. She then allowed the students to do their own writing. I got to work one on one with a student who was struggling with this concept. I think the student started to grasp the idea by the end of the day. The teacher then ended with a reflection and sharing of ideas from the children. It was so exciting seeing the ideas in the books we read being used in the classroom.

I'm looking forward to next week. Though I hope I get to stay with that teacher, I enjoyed working with the kids during writers workshop. I'm not very good at math and I feel like I can't help as much in the math classroom.

That's all I have to say for today.

Thanks
