Field Experience: Day 1

I had the pleasure of doing my first field experience on Valentines Day. I was a little bit anxious to start because you want the kids to like you and want them to want you around. I am in a 4th grade classroom at Madison Elementary. I introduced myself to them and told them why I was in their classroom. You could tell that they were pretty excited to have someone new in their room. They wasted no time in getting to know me. Their innocence is adorable and they sure do say what is on their mind! One little girl came up to me and said "your hair is big." She was the cutest little thing. The teacher gave her math lesson and after thought I helped students answer any questions that they had. It was Valentines Day so they were pretty excited to go outside for their snowman building contest. We broke up into teams and of course everybody wanted to be on my team, being new to the classroom. We had a great time outside and after came back in and had hot chocolate. One boy, Zakk, was nice enough to get me some. These students are so precious and I very much look forward to working with them on a regular basis!
