My First Week In The Classroom!

I had so much fun this week in my classroom! The first thing i did was meet a Scooby-Doo loving, 2nd grade teacher. The first day, I got to watch my teacher teach a lesson on adding numbers in different orders. After the lesson i got to go around and show each child a different way to try and look at the lesson that made it click in their mind. After we were done with the math activity, the children got to all ask me questions. I got a range of questions from, favorite food (green beans) to my favorite animal (dog), and even to my favorite school ever (Oklahoma University). When i only had a few minutes left, i walked the children to the office where they kept walking to the picture day.On the second day, we had an activity called pocket day. Pocket Day is where every child counts how many pockets they have and when every kid was done we added them all up and the children would guess how many total pockets there were. Whoever is the closest to the total amount, wins the prize. After pocket day, we all went to the library and the librarian read a story called, Harry and the Terrible Whatzit. The librarian was an amazing example on how to read a book to a child and how to keep their focus and keep them entertained the whole time. I had to leave after i scanned the books the children were going to take with home with them to read. I had so much fun this first week and can not wait until my next week there.
