3 Things That Stand Out to Me From This Semester!
Shalaby, Troublemakers- This was a very interesting article to read and I found that it relates to my service learning placement. In my second grade class there is a boy that is always getting in trouble. One time he missed out on a whole lesson because he had to sit at his desk with his head down which I disagreed with since the teacher could've simply talked to him about it. This article taught me that a lot of the time a child behaves the way they do for a specific reason.
Service Learning- Even though I haven't had the best experience with my serving learning placement this semester, it was still an eye opening experience for me. I still enjoyed watching the students progress throughout my time volunteering and getting to help them when they needed it. It gave me real life experience of what it is like to be in a classroom which will definitely be helpful to me in the long run. It has taught me both what to do and what not to do in the classroom.
Alfie Kohn, What to Look For in a Classroom- Kohn provides some good and bad signs in a classroom which I appreciated and found helpful for the future. It also made me more aware of how a classroom environment can greatly affect a students success. Providing simple things such as fidget toys or wiggle chairs can make a huge difference for a student who has trouble focusing.
