Field Experience Week 2

Sooooo Anyone Heard of H1N1 well, elementary schools are a great place to get it if you haven't heard. Yes, that's right my second week in the classroom I got the Swine! I have a fever that wont go away and my chest feels like ice. So I have missed class for a few days because the teacher doesn't want me to go back to class till I get feeling better. Before I left me and Brittany did a few of our lesson plans and had some really good teaching experiences with our class. They did their 4th grade program for the parents on Tuesday... Utah... This is the Place! I was so proud of them, they were really nervous and I didn't think they were going to pull it off, but they sure did and they all seemed really proud of themselves when they were done. We did our concept attainment lesson plan and I think it went really well. We are really lucky to have such a great class they think that it is really cool to have us in their class so they behave really well. In science we are starting to work on animal brochures which was really cool because we got to bring the technology into the classroom and every pair got their own laptop and they were able to research different animals found all over the world. Students got so excited to be given the chance to work on a laptop, it was so fun to be able to help them explore the WWW. We are really starting to get into the swing of things with our class. I can't wait to get better so I can return to school, 3 students were home sick today and another student left. Next week we have many fun creative lessons planned with some pretty sweet primary sources. Stay tuned for the update to follow! I am loving field and I can't wait to see what happens next.
