Yesterday, November 14, 2013, was our first all day field trip at the elementary! As soon as we arrived at the school the front office ladies asked us to deliver papers to all the teachers, they were very happy to receive that paper because they only get paper once every 9 weeks. We also had to make sure they signed and every teacher got the correct amount of paper. As soon as we were done with that we went to our class rooms. The children were so excited to see me! They couldn't believe I was going to be there all day with them. The day was all backwards because they had the book fair going on and Santa was there for pictures. So Mrs. Ball just put on a movie on punctuation while all of the kids were settling in. After all the children got back in class I got to actually help "teach" a little center. The kids were making turkeys and then had to write a sentence on what they wanted to eat for Thanksgiving. When we were through with that we went to lunch. Each student has a special job in the classroom. One kid has to hold the basket for lunch and pass the silverware out. After lunch we went to the library, and they got to watch a movie. They really enjoy movie time because its a time for them to just settle down and not have to work for a little while. While I was there I experienced a little boy who was trying to steal a toy. Mrs. Ball was very calm and didn't draw a lot of attention to the situation. But it was his fifth time, so she did have to get the principle involved this time. At the end of the day is when the assistant teacher, Mrs. Shelley, does the children's folder to take home that shows their parents their behavior. A blue means very bad, and a green means very good. The children get to choose their own crayon and which color they THINK they were. There is also a key at the bottom of the page that tells the parents what the kid had trouble with that day. Whether its not staying in your seat, or talking to much. After all of that was done and the room was picked up it was time to go home. They were all excited for that. Yesterday really made me realize that, that really could be me in 5 years! It was a great experience!
