Field Experience

My first Field Experience

On Wednesday I had my first field experience at Talahi Elementary in St. Cloud. I work with a 6^th grade classroom. This week I had the opportunity to observe and get to know the students that I would be working with for the next few weeks. They were very energetic and had many questions for me. I found out that I will be working with 3 groups of 4 students teaching them in the area of reading and literature. I also got the chance to work with many students one on one as like a teacher’s aide the first day. It was cool to see how my teacher ran the classroom and tactics she used to discipline and get the students attention. And see how the structure of a classroom works. They switch sometimes during the day and go to their homeroom classrooms and then come back to their actual class. It was very interesting to observe and take in. I’m super excited for next week when I get to start working with my groups and see how things all go!
