I am very excited about my field experience hours this semester. Last semester, I did my observation hours through the C.A.R.E. mentoring program in Bensenville. I am lucky: I was able to retain that placement for this semester. I go on Fridays to Ms. Pyne's fifth grade classroom. I get there at 11am for Language Arts. Then at 11:45 they switch around, some go and others come in for math. During Language Arts I help individual students with their writing assignments. During math, I run a math game with small groups of kids. I really enjoy working with this class.
I am not nervous about this at all, because I know the teacher and the class. It was great to see everybody again. The kids were glad so see me, too. I have been going all school year so I know what the teacher and students expect from me, so I have no reason to be nervous. I plan to continue working closely with the children to help them master their assignments. In Language Arts I get to work individually with the students on their writing projects, and they are happy to have the extra help. I am going to strengthen my experience this semester by learning all the students' names. I will admit that I did not commit their names to memory last semester. As I work with them this semester, I have vowed to myself that I will learn all their names to establish a stronger connection with them.
