What I learned:
I learned a lot during my 7-week placement in the Early Education Center. Here are a couple of the biggest things I grew in:
Classroom Management
Confidence in my teaching style
Collaboration with other field students
Block Planning
Adapting to certain student's needs
Adjusting my lessons to other teacher's feedback
What I did:
Each week I worked to prepare activities and learning centers that met the PA standards for PreK, engaged the students, and fit with the current unit theme. Here are a couple of other things I worked on:
A 2-week Unit Plan
Weekly Block Plans
Daily Read-Alouds
Math and Literacy Centers
Why I loved it:
I loved the opportunity to get to know my students. Each student has their unique strengths and it was fun watching them grow. I was thankful for the opportunity to invest in their education through lesson planning and leading classroom activities. I am also thankful for the mentorship I received from my cooperating teachers. I enjoyed connecting with the community and our families through our community helper unit. Overall, I could not have asked for a better first placement.
