Field Experience Feedback

This is a very interesting blog for me because I had a negative experience. I was excited to observe in the classroom, but my kindergarten classroom that I was placed in only did language arts during my class times. Unfortunately, I was only able to attend my assigned school once, but was able to carefully observe the language arts instruction in another school I was observing in. I really like my originally assigned teacher and would have loved to learn from her. This experience taught me that not everything will work out every time, but I have to do whatever is necessary to gain knowledge anyway. I was not truly impacted by the experience because I was never able to witness much in an elementary classroom. When I was in the kindergarten classroom for the day, I liked how she used technology such as the Smart Board to teach language arts. Language arts can be very exciting and there are many opportunities that can be taken in order to teach it effectively. There is no reason for language arts to be a boring subject anymore. I believe it is necessary to incorporate many different learning styles into the classroom!
