These past two weeks, I have been all over the place....and what a joy it has been. I am so proud of ALL of my young ladies. I had the priviledge of seeing Cortney teach a wonderful lesson on South Carolina symbols. It was really neat to see her practice lesson put into the "real" classroom. Excellent work!
I visited Kareen at Bethel, and she was teaching prepositions of place with three dimensional shapes while playing "Simon Says" at the same time! The kids LOVED IT!
I made my way over to Mauldin Elementary, and spied on Chloe working with a small group of advanced kindergarten students. They were "playing" BINGO with site words.
Somewhere in the midst of it all, we took a FANTASTICALLY FUN trip to the Childrens Museum of the Upstate with our pen pals. What an exhaustingly fun day!
In the last few days, I had the pleasure of taking a class photo with Alex and her fun little 2nd graders.
I also got to see Maddy teaching kindergarteners a math lesson about subtraction. She read a book about Froggy going to camp. Then, the kids drew a pond with grass on a big piece of paper. Maddy told "mini stories" about how many frogs were in the pond - and then jumped out. The kids reinacted the story with their drawings to learn subtraction!
Finally, I visited Kate in the library where she was working with a small group of students using whiteboards to review math concepts. Such a natural teacher!

I can't believe it's all over! I'm so sad. Every day this week was tinged with a bit of sadness leading up to my last day. I did my lesson and helped Ms. Hull with various things. On the last day, Ms. Hull presented me with a gift, and each of my little friends came up to give me a hug. I had to keep myself from crying! I hope everyone had a fantastic field experience, and I can't wait to talk with everyone Monday.

This week was one of my favorite weeks! I enjoyed getting to see Megan and Kameron play and explore in the Children's Museum. Megan was so cute, she came up to me before we left and gave me a black and white sock monkey, and told me she wanted me to have it just because. I also enjoyed getting to see my kids at Five Oaks conduct a book group about a story they had been reading over the past two weeks.

I can't believe our field experiences have come to an end! I loved every minute of my time in second grade and will definitely be going back to visit my friends in Mrs. Gemmel's class. I really enjoyed being able to work with small groups of the high achievers in math the last few days. It allowed me to get to know those students on a deeper level, and see how they learn compared to the lower down sweathearts I usually work with. They all want to be first to answer which is hilarious. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did!

I'm so sad! Everything is over. I want to go back and visit! The class surprised me with a giant card! One of the students wasn't there on my last day so he left me a giant note on the board. I miss them all so much!
