Sorry, there's not much here yet, but as I think of things, I'll add them!

I would REALLY REALLY love one of these! You can get them at Walmart for $15 (or at least that is how much they are at the walmart by UVU).

It's Over...Already??
WOW! I can hardly believe that my 3 week field experience is already over! Oh how time flies! I had a wonderful time at field and am so grateful for the teacher and class that I was assigned to. The teacher, Mrs. Carol Lindley, has already taught me so much! And so have the students! If I had to list the hardest things from my field experience, I think that I could narrow it down to two things: 1.) My first math lesson, and 2.) Knowing how to treat the students, learning how to show the students that I AM a teacher, that I am THEIR teacher, and that they need to respect me as such.
In the past field experiences, I haven't had a hard time finding that roll, and if I did have a little trouble, I didn't worry about it because it was only for 3 weeks. But this time it is different: I'll be their teacher for 10 weeks in the spring as well. Carol has given me tips as to how to inform the students that I AM their teacher, and I will definitely take her suggestions and I trust her that they will work!
I am excited to go back in January. I already miss the students and wish I didn't have to be back at my UVU classes because I love so much being in the classroom teaching!
I am grateful that I will have the opportunity to work with Carol on my teaching skills and that I am not just thrown into a classroom of my own. Yikes, the thought of that scares me still, even though I know that wont happen to me!
I felt that my first math lesson was a little shaky, but Mrs. Lindley said that it went pretty well, and gave me pointers for the next math lessons. Both Carol and I felt that my math lessons got progressively better, which made me very happy! I didn't realize how hard math would be to teach until I had to do it! But I did it, and I liked it by the end!

Day One!
Ok, so I haven't taken our Literacy 2 Midterm test yet, and it's only in the testing center until Saturday, so I totally should be studying for it. But before I start studying, I wanted to quickly post a blog about my first day. It doesn't look like you've checked my blog in a while, but I guess you should never assume either. So here it goes!
Today was fun in my class! I am in a 3rd grade classroom in Pleasant Grove. Nothing extraordinary happened, but I had a fun time getting involved with my class. Tomorrow my teacher will be gone for about 3 hours at a funeral. During that time, the students will be at computers, lunch and lunch recess part of the time. The rest of the time there will be an aid in the classroom, and I'll be "teaching!" I put it in quotes because I didn't do any of the work behind the lessons. I am simply taking the lessons that my teacher would have been teaching and teaching them for her. Which, I know, really IS teaching, but not it wont count towards anything for field :( Too bad, but I don't mind, I'm still excited! Also, my teacher wants me to teach a unit on Persuasive Writing. I am very excited for this as well!! I don't think this will count towards anything towards field assignments either, except for the writing thing that we have to do for...your class I believe. I think I'll try to stretch it into my literacy lessons, but I'll have to ask Pro. Harward first. I wish I could just go and teach during field and get the points needed instead of HAVING to teach this and that and the other. It'd be a TON more enjoyable that way! But I understand why it's not possible.
Well, I'm off to study for my Literacy midterm...yuck.
