Week 11

So last week in field experience I received my student's writing sample. I also got to help my student start to type up a play that her and the student's in the group had wrote. I had to help remind her to capitalize letters and were to use punctuation. She was constantly forgetting to put punctuation at the end of her sentences. Then after they went back to the classroom from skills I watched the teacher do I lesson. The teacher did a lesson on the overhead over correcting sentences. I noticed that a lot of the students weren't paying close attention and were doing other things. The teacher often ignored these students. I feel like that when I start teaching I won't be able to ignore these students causing disruptions. After the lesson they then went into writing workshop. When all the students started writing it was time for us to leave. That was my day in my field experience. In class we went over and shared our students writing. My student wrote a paragraph on what she was thankful for. We went through and answered questions figuring out what our student needed to work on. I think the hardest part of this was writing what I would say to the parents about their student. That is one thing I am really nervous about is talking to the parents and tell them where their child is struggling. I hope I never have a problem parent!!
