Walking into Mrs. Benfer's 5th grade science class gave me so many emotions running through my head. I was nervous because I wanted to make a perfect impression to the students in the classroom and I wanted them to have a great experience with our class.
Right when we walked into the classroom was so exciting. To see the look on these students faces of joy, excitement, and they were just so excited about the fact that they got to work with a college student! I love the look on the kid's faces of them knowing that they have so much to learn and the fact that I can help form their new minds into some great knowledge that they will use in the years ahead of them. After the lesson of mixtures and solutions were taught to the class, we were all asked to divide up with the students into two separate classrooms. I had so many thoughts going through my head..like 'what if I don't know an answer to one of their questions?' or ' What if my student that i'm paired with doesn't like me?' I think that that was actually my first concern as a teacher. That's when it actually hit me that it is so important for the students to be learning in a positive environment and how I help them to learn is so important. As the period went on I just introduced myself to my student and then helped him complete the activity he was working on. Overall, our first day of fieldwork was a positive experience and I can't wait to teach my lessons to the class and work with them some more! The teacher was great, very cooperative, and I don't think that I would want to be anywhere else observing! :)
