On my first day I sorted papers and observed what the students were doing. They didn't really get into their work because they were just starting a lesson and they were talking about the work.

I had a lot of fun yesterday in the classroom because I was walking around and helping the students on assignment problems that they got wrong. I would ask if they got it and if not, I would help them work out the problem.

Dear Mr. Peterson,

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to work with you and your class. When I first got  to the class the students were about to go to recess and I sorted their assignments. I finished doing that a little before everyone came back inside and then it was time for math. I got to see how you guys worked and did the assignments.

I like how all the students were enthused to learn. All of them were excited to share their answers of how they answered the questions. I am excited to work with the students and get to know them more. So far I already like this class because  they are at a good age where they know to listen to directions. I was wondering if you wanted me to ask you first to work with a student who needs help, or if I just take action and help when needed. Also you mentioned how a student may need to work in the hall. Would you like me to go out and help that student or take a student in the hallway if they are really struggling?

If I am sick or can't make it to the class one day, my phone number is (907) 299- 9704. Also I was wondering if I can get your classroom number or your personal number so I can call ahead of time if I know that I can't make it to class for any particular reason. At the end of the semester I will be doing an activity in the classroom for my semester project and I was just reminding you and you can also recommend ideas or anything that sounds good to do with the students.
Sincerely, Alexis

Mr. Peterson

Thank you so much. I really like working with the students. On Thursday I only got to two kids with their math but I really enjoyed it and I am excited to continue working in the classroom. It is a wonderful opportunity to be working with your class. I don't have any further questions but if I do I'll let you know.

Reflection: On this day I sorted papers and it was my first day helping the students with their work.

Yesterday I worked on a map and helped the students with their map. I really enjoy helping the students. They are doing really good because some of them didn't need help because they already got how to do the problems. Everything has been straight forward and all my questions have been answered. I look forward to the days I go in your classroom and help out the students.

Yesterday I worked on an Alaska map while the students were at recess. When everyone came back in for math I was working in the back with students and helping them with the questions that they got wrong.

My year in your class with the students is going really well. I have a lot of fun just being in the class with the students. Yesterday I got to go on the field trip with you guys at the Science Center, and that was a lot of fun. I had to leave early but I got to see the activity that the students were doing with the workers. The students were really funny to watch because they would be running away from the waves because the tide was coming in fast. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to be working with you and your students.

Yesterday I got to go on a field trip with the students. They are leaning about invasive species and the set a crab pot on the ground. They hammered a pole into the ground and tied a rope that was attached to the pot onto the pole. There was bait inside the pot to lure the crabs into it. The students had to be fast because the tide was coming in. They will be checking the crab pots to see what crabs they got. I had a lot of fun being at the Science Center with them.

This week I worked with students and helped them with their math. I really enjoy just working with them. My Ed Rising class will be working a formal lesson plan for the last week of April/first week of May. If you have any recommendations or a certain lesson plan, please let me know. Our last day at Keet is May 2nd.

This week was simple. I worked on an Alaska map and helped students with their math. I am almost done with the map. I just have to name stuff. I haven't gone outside with them in recess yet, but I will most likely go when I finish my map.

Our last day on May 2nd is coming up. The lesson plan I will be focused on is measurement. You gave me some ideas, and I was wondering what I will be using in the classroom to have hands on active learning with the students. Out of the topics that you gave me, is there one that you want me to focus on the most that will help the students. What are the students learning about towards the end of the month, and what will help them understand the lesson more easily?

I finally finished my Alaska map, and have been working with the students on their math. I am going to talk to my mentor about the lesson plan at the end of the year and research other lesson plans and find one that will be most helpful to the students. I want the lesson to be very understandable to the students so that they get what they are doing with little confusion. I also want the lesson plan to be hands on so the students can learn in a fun way.

The Gallon Bot lesson is going really well. I found some lesson examples online that I have also been getting ideas from. I am thinking about doing the lesson plan maybe next week, or the Tuesday after. I just realized how little time I have left, but I enjoy my time in the classroom.

I have been having a lot of fun spending time with the 4th graders. I am working on an octopus bag and the students are also going to make one sometime soon. My mentor said I can do my lesson whenever.

My last two days are coming up. It has gone by so fast in the classroom. I finished my gallon bot and I am excited to do my lesson plan with the students. I cut all the pieces, but I'm going to let the kids cut the pints in pairs of two and the cups in pairs of fours.

In the classroom I have been talking with my mentor about the lesson plan. I think we are both excited. He has done this lesson before with earlier students. During math I just work with students if they need help. They come and sit with me or I call them one at a time.
