Kindergarten Here I Come!

The grade that I got assigned to help student teach was kindergarten. The first though that I had when I heard that I would be working with Kindergarten was us playing with dolls, playing duck duck goose, and lots of nap and snack time. Lets just say, I was looking forward to this more then I probably should have been.
However what I found when I went to student teach, was the amount of hard work and effort that the teacher expects from the children. I was impressed. When I get to the classroom, it is reading time. The teacher separates the class into three groups based on the reading level. The way that she does it allows for the children to feel comfortable and to give them more individual attention. From this the children are put on rotations. I got to listen and assist the children read through some books. Overall, this was a great experience and I cannot wait to see what else the children will do.

  1. Krystal,
    Isn't it amazing what kindergartners can do these days?? The expectations have grown quite a bit from the days when I was that age, believe me. I'm glad you will be able to help out in things like Reading groups - it will really help you see what the world of teaching is all about! :-)
