Today we split into groups and went out to observe preschools in our local area. Some of us went to Mauldin Methodist, some went to a day care, and some went to Simpsonville First Baptist. It was really cool to get to see how different the preschool was from like a kindergarten or upper level class. The kids were all really cute!

Mrs. Turner talked to us about Montessori education and gave us notes on how it was different from a normal school. She showed us pictures of different learning tools they used at these schools and talked about an article that we read.
Thursday - oct 28
We all met Mrs. Turner at Five Oaks Academy at 8:15 and took a tour of the Montessori school. We split into two groups and walked into the classes and around the school. It was really different to see the kids getting to do the things on their own instead of a teacher teaching it to them. It was a cool experience to see but was very different from how many of us had gone threw school. Some of us decided that we would want our kids to go to a school like that but wouldn't like to teach at a school like that.
Friday -oct 29On Friday, we went to see our pen-pals. We made candy corn with their name on them so they could wear it. It was fun being able to spend time with them and get to know them better.
