Student Teaching

During my last two weeks at the Kobler elementary, I've had a great time observing and helping Ms. Kapileo's class. I got to know the students even more & the teacher. Ms. Kapileo teaches her class using a lot of technology. She teaches her class in a very fun way & the students learn something new everyday during their dicussions on group reading, activities or  center time. By teaching the students, i learned a lot about kids. I learned how to approach a kid by the things to say or do, techniques that would help interest them in the subject they are learning.
For my first read aloud, me and carihna decided to read two books together; for the students who were listening and were able to answer the questions from the book, got awarded with a sticker. I noticed that the students try really hard in doing a good job to get a sticker; Stickers are a good way to motivate students in paying attention or getting their work done.
My second read aloud, me and carihna did the same thing and read books together. We always read 1 book that was fun to read and 1 to learn about something new, such as the book "Baby Farm Animals". The book teached them the names of animals called when they are babies and when they are adults; So they learned the difference between adult animals and baby animals.
The read alouds were the best part during my last 2 weeks; I had fun reading it.
Overall, my experience was so much fun for the last two weeks; I got more closer to the students. Ms. Kapileo is doing such a great job teaching the students, they are very advanced in what they are learning..
