So I love field work... I hate sitting in class now!!! Field was fun and the students are wonderful. Sixth graders do not enjoy singing and dancing and my teacher told me good luck but you can try. It was not fun! They are too cool for that kind of stuff, but I know from working in a kindergarten class right now that they love the movement and singing time. I think it will be more successful in next semesters field work when working with younger students. The art work we had them do was great. They used shape, line and space to create a brochure on ancient Egypt and they also created their own name in hyeroglyphic writing using shape and line. These two activities went well.
I had a blast working with Michelle during field. I am going to miss the 6th graders we worked with. They are so much fun to be around and they always made us laugh and smile. I will have to go back and volunteer/visit the class. I am not looking forward to going back to class next week and having to finish up all of the assignments we have, but I am excited to see every ones happy faces and hear all of the stories from their field experience. I would not have survived field with out such an amazing field partner MICHELLE!!! We work so well together as a team and I will be sad to get a new field partner next semester! It will be fun to get to know another girl in the cohort better! Now it is time to enjoy thanksgiving with the family in the heat of TEXAS!!!! :-)
