Second Week of Block

The second week at my school has been great as i predicted! We have been on two field trips. The Grade Ones and I went to Woodend and to a Jack Grunsky concert which the students really enjoyed! I think that field trips are an important element of education as children need to be face to face with what they are learning about. They remember and make connections when in class after going somewhere to a place like Woodend. I cannot believe the second week is over already. Tommorrow my teacher is going to be away so i will get the chance to teach most of the day!

First Block

The first day of my block was great. It was nice starting a new routine and seeing the kids everyday. I taught a calendar lesson which is considered math. It teaches the students different strands of math such as patterning (pattern on the pictures of the calendar), data management (tallying the weather..cloudy, sunny, rainy days), and number sense and numeration. I am so glad to be there everyday for a while!
