WEEK TWO JOURNAL Feb 26-March 2

This placement is what I expected because I knew their would be a lot of effort that needed to be put in to getting things done around the class room. I now see that the teacher is very busy and most of the time does not even have time to finsih what she may have had planned for the day. I also realize the amount of thought that needs to be put in to do crafts and work in the class. I was not expecting it to be easy but I had no idea how much lilttle crafts take to get ready. Its fun when you really enjoy working with kids and I know if I become a teacher I will have enough patients to be a great teacher. Being ready at my placement means having the work ready for the students on time, there are many small crafts they do each day but when you add up all the things they do, time starts to run out. Iv noticed that the teachers can have 4-5 major things planned out for the day and sometimes they skip cetain routines just to get other things done. The afternoon always goes by so fast. I am excited for next week because one of the students birthdays is next week and she asked me If I was going to be there so I could celebrate it with her and the class, so that should be fun.
