Weekly Reflection: Last one

This week was the last week of my senior project and it was a really nice way to end the three weeks. While I was there they class was getting ready for their field trip to the ocean on Tuesday! What they did to prepare was make field guides of sea creatures. So what I would do is while they were reading about the animals is walk around to see if they understood what they were reading or help them sound out a word that they were not able to pronounce. This week I learned that while doing crafts that involves glue and scissors, you needed to be very patient, even more patient then when you are teaching something. I also learned about some things that I could do this summer that would involve working with younger kids or I could tutor kids in the library. I am in love with what I am doing; doing Senior Project convinced me even more that I want to be a teacher when I grow up. I really liked working with the kids, and just not only helping them out with their math problems, but also just being for them overall. I was asked by Ms. Wallace and Mr. Hubbard to help the kids with the cutting and gluing part of the field guide and I know they asked me to do this because they wanted to make the process of putting together the book go a little faster. Ms. Wallace also asked me to teach another Spanish lesson, she asked me that because it would give me another opportunity to teach the class and run a class. This week however was very busy for the third graders so I was not able to teach the class. Everything that has happened this week has happened for a reason, unlike last week there were no surprises and thankfully no one got hurt when I was on duty during recess. What I benefited from this week is, I got some ideas now of what to do this summer, and I think I am going to try and be both a tutor and a camp counselor so I can work with kids as much as I can.
Senior Project has been amazing, and I am going to miss working with the kids so much! They have actually inspired me to become a teacher even more.
