Week Three in Field Experience

Wow, time has flown by. I can't believe my field experience has come to an end. This was the most beneficial thing for me. I loved working in the classroom. Hands on experiences always help me more. This week we did our last two lessons. The first one was on Thursday and we talked about the U.S. and Mexican governments but our power point didn't work because the tech cart wasn't working right so we had to come up with something else. We ended up talking about the American Pledge and Mexican Pledge and we did similarities and differences with them. Ms. Schwaiger helped us with asking the students what the pledge meant. It turned out to be an alright lesson for us. Friday was our last lesson and we had a review game on what we learned throughout the three weeks we were there. It turned out great! We also had a fiesta and La Casita donated some beans, rice, salsa, and chips for it. The students had a blast and it turned out excellent.

It sounds like your last two days weren't the best. Sorry about the power point. One idea is have handouts for students then you could have gone off the handout. Another is as a backup print your power point out on over head but that would only work if the teacher had an over head machine. Anyway just a few ideas I look forward to seeing you all again.
