Week 2!

My second week at my field site, was a great week! I selected a student to watch and observe what kind of learner they are. The student I watched was very energetic and liked to move around.  During recess the student would just run all over the place and be very interactive with other children. When we headed back towards the classroom the assignment was to build stuff with two wires and a battery. While watching the student, that student was the first to grab the bag and take out the supplies and started right away. So my opinion on the student I watched was a kinesthetic learner. The student also listened very well but the student liked moving a lot more.

Getting To Know My Field Site!

The first two days at my field site I learned that my teacher always keeps the light off to have a relaxed setting. It is much calmer and the kids are at ease. I also learned that my teacher, Mr. Hopkins is a longhorns fan..a big one, he graduated form The University of Texas at Arlington! He has his desks for the children in groups of 5 or 4. He uses a projector for when he teaches math. The most exciting part about being at my field site was actually helping out a child with math. It probably was the best feeling ever, it was exciting!  The activities he used for math was a competition, there were two teams the Longhorns and the Spartans. For each question they got right they would get  point, so when he did that it just made it interesting and fun! I enjoyed being at my field site!

Demonstrate How to Read a Book.
If I were to read a book again, I would pace myself and go a little slower and take my time while reading. I would also get more into the book and change the tone in my voice to keep the readers interested. I would also speak a little louder than I already did. I would also read the illustrators name and not just the authors. Overall I would just get more into character while reading the book.
