Day 3

It was the third time for us to go to the elementary school yesterday. The teacher was actually there so it was much more controled. I had so much fun! I got to help the kids count by five. It was interesting to see the different paces the children learned at. It took time and patience to work the the students and not get frustrated when you had to repeat your words many times over. It was worth it though to see them finally understanding. This was definately my favorite visit yet. I got to interact with the children personally which I hadn't got to do earlier. I love being able to go help teach these children.

Day 2

We went back to the Elementary school yesterday. It was awesome! I love being around young children. There was a sub again today. That was kinda a bummer. But I got to meet the actual teacher and she said she'll be there next week. She seems nice. This time the students were working at their desks the whole time. They were counting and reading. All i did was sit and observe but it was cool to see the patience the substitute demonstrated when working with the children. One thing I did get to do was help a little boy tie his shoe. This little task was simple but at the same time exciting to help this little boy.

Day 1

Yesterday was the first day we went to Westwood. I got put in a first grade classroom. I love little children and was very excited about my class. When I walked into the room all the kids were sitting on the floor learning the months. The actual teacher was not there yesterday so there was a sub. This caused it to be a little chaotic but I enjoyed being around the children and helping as I could. I saw from what the sub did that she had patience with the children. When one of the kids was set on doing the estimation jar and didn't get chosen the teacher offered to let both kids share the job. This worked perfectly both of the boys got to do what they wanted and were happy. Next time I would like to be able to enteract with the kids more.
