Field Experience Week 3!

Observations:
This week my teacher was absent one of the days so it was interesting to see how the students behaved with the sub. I learned that second graders are more responsible than most people expect. This sub at times was not letting the kids try on their own, which made some more frustrated because they were ready to move on and she would not let them. On my next visit my class was MAP testing in math which they are very gifted in. The strategies they were taught to help them with the test seemed to help them a lot because they practiced with them several times before the test.
Learning Experiences:
This week I learned a little about MAP testing scores and how they now take MAP testing three times a year and each student has a goal to meet. I also learned how students react when a teacher is not there unexpectedly.
Reflections:
In my class the students were learning how to answer questions that are not on the lower levels of Bloom's taxonomy, which is very interesting because I don't think I learned about that stuff until I was a little older.
Stories to Share:
In class this week my teacher showed me pictures from when I was in her second grade class which I shared with my kids. They thought I looked very different as well as my teacher! It was just a good time to show them that I was in there shoes at one point.
