I have now been doing field for a week. (One down, two more to go!) I have been enjoying the experience. I might regret admitting this, but it is way better than regular school.
It has been nice to be around young students, it is refreshing to remember why I have an interest in teaching.
We haven't done any student teaching yet, we start on Tuesday. I am looking forward to that. I think that it is going to be a lot of fun. Our first lesson that we teach is going to be our technology enriched lesson. We have a really cool PowerPoint introducing Ancient Greece that we are going to show to the students. It should be a lot of fun. My only concern is with the teacher obtaining the projector we will need to show the presentation. Hopefully she takes care of that and things go smoothly.
Moving on to a technology related aspect of field...For the next two weeks the students in our sixth grade class will spend forty-five minutes per day in the computer lab practicing their typing skills. Crazy! I am glad that they have the opportunity to work with computers and practice skills that they will rely on for the rest of their lives.
Hopefully I enjoy this coming week as much as I have enjoyed this previous one.
Stay tuned for my next exciting entry on "Field Work Week 2"
P.S. I am anxiously awaiting a grade for my digital story! I am curious as to whether my teacher likes it as much as I do!
