Day Ten

Week Number Two
Day Number Ten
Hours worked: 10:00-2:30 (Total: 4 1/2 hours)

Today I decided I to go over to the school an hour and a half earlier then scheduled. The reason is because I wanted to be with the kids more, and I wanted to be in an environment that I am really starting to love. When I walked into the classroom, they were working on a new reading assignment. Their assignment was to read a informational book,(a book that has facts).

One student, Jared, is reading about the Titanic, and in his reading response he is going to point out facts that he learned about the Titanic. Katelyn is reading a story about history, but there is a made up story mixed in with the facts. Reading this story gives Katelyn a little bit of a challenge because she has to decide what parts are made up and what parts are facts. After reading time the class had their weekly spelling tests, and today's paragraph was about the American flag.

After the test, Mr. Hubbard and Ms. Wallace's class came together to read a book about popular sea creatures, in preparation for their field trip next Tuesday. As partners they have to read a few pages out loud and then find the main points within those pages. That was the lesson for this time period, finding the main point.

Lunch time! I had lunch with the kids again and it is always fun. What was pretty eventful though was recess. One boy, who is the grade above (4th grade) got what I think was the wind was knocked out of him, but it was still very scary. What made it so scary was that I took Ms. Wallace's spot as being on duty for recess while she stayed with the student who had to read and finish up homework. When I saw that Mr. Hubbard was rushing around looking for someone to help this student I asked him if he wanted me to get the nurse and of course he did. I ran into the school, quickly got the nurse and we went outside. Once she was with the boy I calmed down my class and told them to stop watching him and he is in good hands now and that he will be fine.

It was nice to see what recess was like and I also showed myself that I can handle myself in a crisis! Monday my post with be about working with the younger grades during SHARE DAY!!
