FIRST WEEK OF FIELD WORK

This week was crazy trying to get everything organized for field and being in the classroom. I am enjoying myself being in a sixth grade classoom. It is interesting to see how a sixth grade classroom is ran because when I was in sixth grade we were in middle school and had class periods, lockers, gym, etc. It is really different. At first I was against teh older gradeds didn't hink that i clicked well with them but over this last week I could see my self teaching teh older grades just as much as teh younger grades. The teacher that I am working with is great he loves his class adn job and it shows. He uses alot of technology in his classroom. He has an overhead projector that shows what ever is on teh computer as well as you can watch TV and movies on it. It is great it makes having power points and digital stories worth wild. It is so easy to show them and use those things in the classroom. This week already we saw how the technology is used in the classroom. The class is studying planets and space, each student was assigned a subject to make a power point on. The powermoint we saw was on Mars. It was great and the students really know their stuff when it comes to being computer savvy. It has been interesting to enter a classroom and see all that we have learned apply in the classroom. While in class you pretend and here how it is affective but when you are in an actual classroom it is great to see it all come together. I look forward to the next couple of weeks and how much more I will learn.
