Recently I have been doing my field experience to become a teacher and it has been an awesome experience. I been observing and helping out in a second grade class at Desert Horizon Elementary. The kids are wonderful and they always find a way to put a smile on my face. Sometimes it can be so funny with the things that these kids come up with; one moment they are talking about something and the next second they change the subject to something completely different. They tell me crazy and funny stories that leave me wondering, how do these kids have this crazy and innocent imagination of them.
As I have been talking to Mrs. Markgraf, (the second grade teacher) I have learned that being a teacher is not as easy as it looks. Teachers need to learn how to control students behavior the right way, make lots and lots of lesson plans, attend numerous meeting and so much more that you couldn’t even imagine. I know that teaching the young ones is something that I will love, because children at this age are more willing to learn anything with so much enthusiasm.
I also believe that at this age the children actually want to learn and put more effort to the assignments being given. I myself like you want to be a teacher for the young ones. I am also doing my field experience and by what my mentor teacher says is that it is hard work building lesson plans for every single day but at the end of the day you're just glad the students enjoyed it. Overall I think you're post was great (:
ReplyDeleteI agree. School, for me, was awesome in the second grade. And that was without Ipads and all of the cool things that kids have these days in the classroom as learning essentials. Good luck in your endeavors. I'm sure you would make a wonderful teacher!
