FieldBlogPost7-GESU

Every day at Gesu is another opportunity to learn more I feel like. It was rainy outside today, so the kids had indoor recess. I had a lot of fun hanging out with the kids and playing heads up 7 up. They were so energetic! For some reason, when they stay inside they get more talkative I feel like. Mrs. Nemeth told me that conferences were coming up. Their conferences are just like any other conference. The only difference is that the kid writes a letter to their parents about their progress and what they think. Mrs. Nemeth does this so the conference is still all about the kid and not parents and teacher. When the first class started, they began by sharing some of their food pyramids that they made on the document camera. A document camera is kind of like a more advanced overhead. The food chains were super creative and I loved seeing that! After they all shared, they took time to review for their test, which is on Friday. Mrs. Nemeth told me that she always gives the kids about a weeks notice for a test because the kids are also very busy. To review for the test, they played an online game on the smart board where they had to put all the bones a skeleton. It was on a very convenient website called ABCya.com. After that, the kids got on the iPads and took bone and muscle quizzes and played games on Brain Pop. In reading, I made a poster with 8 Halloween words on it. I then lettered them from A-H. We gave each kid a letter and they had to research the word and write down fun facts on a notecard. Mrs. Nemeth touched on one important thing today with the kids. They went on to talk about missing assignments and how important being prepared in. Being prepared reflects your grade! Also, the kids who were prepared for the day got candy. Lastly, the most important thing that I learned today would be that you must be patient! if you are not patient, there could be a lot of chaos in a classroom. Mrs. Nemeth is very patient with her kids and that is a very admirable trait in a teacher!
