It is coming to the end of the 40 hours of observation that I needed for ED 340 this semester, kind of sad. I have had the best experience of my life so far and I am really going to miss the class, especially my supervising teacher. She has been such a great help to me and has really taught me so much! Doing my field work has not been a drag at all, I have really enjoyed it. My supervising teacher has invited me to continue coming for the rest of the school year to work with the kids! On Monday, when I was there, she gave me subbing papers for the school for me to fill out when I finish this semester. I can't wait to legally sub! I am already planning on going back to the school for the play that the entire first grade class performs, I am helping the students learn their parts and I am also making costumes! I think the thing I am most excited for is the field trip I am going on with my class! We are going to Jenkinson's Aquarium and I am super excited! I have not been here since I was a little girl. I used to love it there and this day will be so much fun!
I am thankful for everything that has happened to me just through my observations. I learned a lot, got to do some really cool and fun things, and best of all had a great time doing it all. I really don't want this experience to end! Never thought it would be so enjoyable waking up early and spending hours on end in an elementary school then going to class...I was definitely wrong! I want to get my supervising teacher a little present, does anyone have any ideas?! Please help me!
I am so glad that you first experience was such a positive one. May I suggest that you get her a gift certificate for a very nice restaurant? She can bring a friend, a husband, a boyfriend, a parent. Dr. Ries
