my experience was great. i loved seeing the little kids smile and how excited they were to make their little child. I think my team as very prepared, we went in there and knew who was doing what and we kept the class in order and we even got every one involved because they would all raise their hands to volunteer and at the end they openly got up and clean up each other's seats. Then at the end they wouldn't stop asking when we were going to come back.!!!!

Well for my first field experience this year I think went ok. I said it went ok because my team was not well prepared.My role in the lesson was to read the book and ask them some questions on the book and about themselves. I also think that the students didn't really get the lesson. All in all, I think that the field experience went ok.

A) My team was kind of prepared because we didnt have our construction paper but we came through.

B)The lesson was effective because it really had the students thinking about themselves. They had to figure out what made them them and the things they like to do.

C)My role was to be a teacher. I participated by passing out materials and also getting the students involved. I had them go around answering a question i asked so they can get to know me and i can get to know them.

D)The sucessful part of the lesson wsa actually having the kid particpate and willing to tell the whole class about them. I dont think there was anything unsucessful about the lesson excluding the fact that we forgot materials.

E)The most significant part of the day was just being able to have control over a classroom. Also to have students that were just willing to participate and learn.

The team I was in with Nelibeth, Mike, Rose, and Donya was very prepared for the lesson. Our team feel that the we taught wae effective to the students and ourselves. My role was explaing the lesson, and passing out the needed materials and monitoring the room and interacting with the students during the time they were completing the assignment. I feel that our group lesson was very successful and the most significant moment was when the students was able to tell us what we taught the and showed that they remembered
our names, they were glad came, and that they cant wait til we come again!!! My experience was very good i enjoyed my self and had fun teaching the kids and it make me very eager to continue in this program so that one day i can have my own class!!!

A) Our team wasn't that prepared because we didn't have all the materials we needed when we entered the classroom so I had to leave the classroom and get the materials needed for the lesson but besides that, I think we were prepared even though we had a rocky start.

B) I think the lesson was effective because we got the students involved with the lesson instead of just giving them the assignment to do.

C) My role was being the teacher and I participated by doing my job by asking the students to come to the front of the class and share with their classmates, I asked questions, and etc, and just tried to my job to my best ability even though we didn't practice before we got in the class, and I tried to make it as fun as possible.

D) The thing that was successful was that the students were involved, listened, and payed attention. The thing that wasn't successful was that we didn't have all our materials in the beginning but besisdes that, it was successful.

E) The most signifiacnt moment of the day was when I got in front of the class and became a teacher. That was the most significant part because I really felt like a teacher compared to the first 2 years of my UTAP experience because this time I really got the chance to get in front of the class and even though I wanted to become a teacher since elementay school, being in front of the class made me want to become a teacher even more, and that meant a lot to me.

When we went to see the little kids at the elementary i was pretty excited.I hadnt seen them in awhile and it seemed all new to me.But UTAP has taught me so much that when i finally got to teach the class with my co-teachers i knew that i was going to do a good job.I cant wait to go visit again!

My first experience this year went superb. At first nobody knew what was going on in my group but we calmed down and came to a mutrual decision to just do our best. The lesson was sucessful because the children were well behaved and everyone in my group did their part as they were supposed to do. My role in my group was reading the story along with Nelibeth and interacting with the students. The most significant moment was when we sat down and got to know the kids and they really liked us.

my experience was so much fun.I love my team and i could not picked better people.we was well prepaired and organized but only problem we had was
we did not rotate on being in charge of the lesson. also the kids was into the lesson. all the kids was answering the question. I had a chance to have one on one time with the class compared to the whole class in one class and and five people up teaching the class.I was lauging with my class and just having a good time. I remember when we left they asked was we coming back and they wanted us to stay.I wish we can have more time with the kids. I wish we could have spend like a whole day with the class.

Before we left to go to the elementary i didn't really want to go. I didn't feel like me and my partner were ready and on top of that we were missing someone in our group. So that left only us two to control this whole class for the first time, awe did much better than i thought we would and i was grateful for that. I think our lesson was effective because the students were very into the book we read and they seemed to like the activity we had for them after the book. Me and my paartner took turns quieting down the students, passing out materials, and answering their questions. Our lesson was successful because the students were communicating with us and answering the questions we asked. The most significant part was being able to get the students engaged.

my experience was great. i enjoyed time with the kids...i feel it was better than with the buddies because it more space to move a round in the class. When our group got there we were unsure on what we were teaching but we got there and we made it happen with no problem. they were very respectful, they raised their hands and they used inside voices....overall i had a good time.

Ngarcia said...

My teamis very good in improvising.So even though we did not have all the supplies we manage to make an illusion of looking prepared.

I think that the lesson was so effective.I asked questions and the students knew all the right answers.

My role was to reasd the book and encourage, monitor the students.


The successful part was actually working as a team and helping students understand about the lesson.

The most significant part of the day was being able to handle the classroom with ease.

1.)In the beginnig i don't really think my team was that prepared because we didn't have all the materials that we needed but once things got going it got a little better.
2.)i think the lesson was effectivie because the looked like they were really interested in what we were saying. They were also being very interactive in answering questions and talking with us.
3.)My role was to be a teacher and how i participated was by reading the book we were givin about peace and in between while i was reading i asked the kids questions. Also i walked around answering the kids questions and passing out papers.
4.)the most successful part of the lesson was the end when we had all are my materials and things were going more smooth.the most uunsuccessful part was the beginning when had NO materials and didn't really know what todo.
5.)the most significant moment was when i got to read the book to the kids and have them answer the questions that i asked because it wsa a really cool feelng standing up there and having thm pay attention to me.

HOW WAS YOUR EXPERINCE AT HLD ELEMENTARY

1. I LIKE IT BETTER WITH US TEACHING THE WHOLE CLASS BECAUSE ITS BETTER ENTERACTING.
2. I LIKE THAT EVERYBODY IS PAYING ATTENTION TO US, AND NOT SO MANY THINGS ARE GOING ON AT ONE TIME. I DONT HAVE A NEGATIVE TO SAY AS OF NOW.
3.MY OVERALL VIEW IS THAT I CANT WAIT UNTIL WE GO BACK BECAUSE THE KIDS WERE VERY SWEET AND RESPONDED WELL TO US.
