Today Alex and I visited our third and final classroom! The kids are so enthusiastic and the teacher really seems to appreciate our time there:) She stayed in the room with us and really helped with the discipline, they can get a little rowdy! but I really love them. the second grade is a really good fit for us, we can both see a greater connection with these younger kids. i cant wait till next week! we had a simple lesson plan just to get to know the kids but next time it will coincide with the lesson the teacher is giving. Also the kids are so much more attentive than the fourth graders. they asked me if they could o to the bathroom and it made me feel so powerful!
I can see the that some of the kids are going to be more of a problem than others right away. one girls, Tyjai, (wow they all have such mouthful names! Its going to be hard to remember) wanted us to draw everything for her and said she didn't know how to do it. i tried to get her to practice with me but alex had already done alot for her so my plan it was already ruined. But i used the last speakers advice and told her i didn't know how to draw either! haha she was so cute. and they all made superhero masks and were so enthusiastic to make more! we have to make sure we have the exact amount of supplies next time because they wanted to make so many! and it ended up not being fair to everyone and i felt so bad. they all even wanted the ones i made as examples! at the end we did a reflection, liek the speaker suggested, and they all said theyloved it except for that fact that the glue was messy. what a success!
