Week 9

Last week during my field experience my students were learning about soft and hard ending words, particularly in poetry. After the lesson the students then made up their own Halloween themed poem using either hard or soft words. In the middle of this lesson however we had to go into a code red for about 15 minutes because it was national safety week at the schools. After the code red we had a code green which meant we had to evacuate the building. All of this probably lasted over 30 minutes. Once we got back into the building, it was time for our class to go into the other classroom for their Halloween celebration. The students got Halloween goodies and we watched the movie Up. I didn't really get to do a whole lot of observing that day because of the hectic schedule. but it was still a fun day overall.

In E339 last week, we read Voices in the Park which told the same story from four different view points. We then created extensions of these voices in the story. I think this would be a great activity for elementary children.

We finished the class by talking about out MGRP paper. I am excited to see what everyone's will look like tomorrow!
