Field Experience #3

Wow field experience has flown by! Can't believe this is the last week we will be there. I had the time of my life and I really don't want to go back to college. I really am starting to get attached to these 5th graders and I've only been there 3 weeks. It's insane really!
So this week we taught our social studies lessons again. Technology cooperated with us this week (cue the angel choir singing!). But I found that my videos took a little too much time and I kinda left Loryn in a lurch with hers even though I cut a few videos out. We did a diamante poem for the kids and wanted them to perform some for our 2nd drama activity, but we ran out of time for them to read them in front of the class.
Science went well too. I taught a lesson on chemical reactions and the students went to different stations to try mixing different chemicals. Some of my students didn't understand one of my worksheets, so I brought the class together and explained it. Took me 2 days to get through my science lesson, but I felt like I got them to understand chemical reactions really well and do what I wanted them to with the worksheets. I realized it's better to take 2 days to do something rather than cram it into one and they don't get what you need them to get.
Now I'm off to England to enjoy the sights there. Most of my field papers are in or will be in shortly and I'm very excited! Thanks to the teachers who helped me get here and worked with me to make this happen!
