Field+Experience+Rotations

Yesturday, was a great experience! She had put me in a reading circle to work with ESL students. It was nice working with the students in a small group. I let them each pick a book, read the page twice out loud and gave them questions and let them connect the book to their life. ( Ivana)

My first field experience was tiring, yet extremely fun! Ms. Krohomer greeted me with a big hug and asked me what I would like to do to help. I began grading papers right away and when the kids arrived the teacher introduced me as Miss. Swanson. During the day, I called a few students over and tutored them individually and helped them with their work. I loved the first day and I can't wait to return to the classroom tomorrow! ( Emeline)

I had so much fun on my rotation yesterday. I got to do a lot of computer work for Mrs. Paulet. I also got to meet a lot of the kids and they called me "Ms. Rachel." I felt really proud of myself for the way I was able to walk around the room and help the students edit their stories they wrote for Halloween. I cannot wait to go back! (Rachel)

Yesterday was such a great first rotation day! I got to work with kids with both one on one and in groups. Already I learned so much from Mrs. Lees. It was a little funny being called Ms. Zaccari, but it was also pretty cool. I'm also super excited because I get to teach a reading lesson on Monday and we are taking a walking feild trip around Mount Kisco next Wednesday. I am so excited for tomorrow! (Kristin)

Yesterday was a really great experience. Unfortunatly my teacher was not in school, but I was placed with another second grade teacher. She was very nice and made me feel welcome. I was really surprised at how much she let me interact with the students, being that she had not planed to have me in her class yesterday. The kids were so sweet and did not hesitate to ask me for help. During reading circle time, the kids read me all different stories and if they needed help with some words I would help them. I also got to sit down with some of the students one-on-one and help them correct their stories they were writing. I was also surprised at how fast I got to know the kids. I am going to miss this class, but tomorrow I start with my teacher that I had when I was in first grade. I am so excited!! ( Adriana)

My rotation yesterday was a lot of fun. My mentor teacher was so sweet and the kids were adorable. I got to help students during their fundementals lesson. There was an evacuation drill in the morning though and it took a a really long time but I was suprised by how well behaved and organized it was. Those kinds of drills take a lot longer at my high school. I can't wait to get more involved in the classroom in the upcoming days. I'm so excited for tomorrow! (Viviana)

My rotations have been so much fun. Mrs. Fearns has had me doing so much in the classroom already and she is great with the students. Most of the time I walk around the classroom while the students are doing their lessons and go around helping the students individually when they are having problems with the assignments. My favorite part so far is helping the kids with their journals because even from Monday to Wednesday I was able to see how some of the student's writing progressed when they had to write two sentences instead of one. Mrs. Fearns has also been teaching me a lot and talking to me that the end of the day and going over her reasoning behind some of her teaching methods and lessons. I cannnot wait to go back tomorrow and continue with the rotation! (Jasmine)

Remember to use only first names! I am so glad you had a great first day and got to do so many things. Kim, Jasmine, Laura, please add your comments to this page about your first day at rotations.
