Field has been such and awesome experience and i have definitely learned a ton!! This week we taught only 1 lesson and it went fairly well, but we had a little too much content for the amount of time we actually had, so that is something i have to keep in mind, always making sure that the amount of content is appropriate for the time and for the students. I have had so much fun that i don't even want to come back to classes, i would just love to stay and help out in 4th grade for the rest of the semester. One problem that i had this week was when i was correcting the math homework, none of the studetns were focusing and they were asking all of the questions. They were frustrated and i was a little bit frustrated that it had taken us so long to do something so simple. 2 of the boys came up to me trying to figure out their score and i just told them to go back to their seat and i would look at their papers while i was recording the scores. On the way back to their desks though one of the boys socked the other in the stoumach because he thought he had graded his paper wrong. I felt really bad because i probably could have taken care of the problem before i sent them back to their desks, maybe if i had had more of an idea of the relationship of these boys i would have helped them work it our instead of sending them straight back to their desk. Maybe they would have still gotten in a fight no matter what i did. It was just helpful for me to deal with this situation and to help these boys work out their problem - at least for now.
Well all in all i really, really enjoyed my time in 4th grade. I probably wouldn't ever choose to teach 4th grade if i were given the choice, but i did love working with the students and i had a really great time. :)
