Week 12

During field experience today, my class was in the computer lab. The students were playing map games on the website www.sheppardsoftware.com. Remember this website! It was an awesome website and has so many very educational games for the students! The students were learning about European countries and their capitals. I honestly learned a lot just by watching the students play the games so many times. The students loved these games and really got a lot out of them. This will definitely be a website I will be using in my future classroom!

The students also got an extra recess today. Which was very fun. It was nice just to be able to hang out with the students and see how the interact during social situations. The teachers were also hanging out and talking with their students which I thought was cool becuase I really want my students to see me not only as a teacher but a friend as well.

During E339 today, we talked more about our seed ideas for our final published piece. I haven't decided if I am going to write a few short poems or one longer one. I also need to figure out how I am going to make my piece "look nice." I am very eager to see what ideas everyone has come up with! I think all of the final products will look great!
