This week with my class, I started noticing the different ways in which each of my kids learn. Many of them are visual learners but it shocked me to see the amount of kids that were auditory learners. When Mrs. Cathcart explains directions for some of the activities, it is obvious that some kids do not need to visually see what they need to do but understand by listening whole other kids need to see things.
Learning experiences:
My kids were learning about their senses this past week. We did a really fun activity in which the kids had different containers with different smells in them. They were things such as Peanut butter, oranges, lemons, garlic and coffee beans. They kids had to guess what was in the container with using only one of their five senses, smell. It was very fun to watch their kids try and figure everything out, they had so much fun trying to guess what was in the container and they loved giving each other hints.
Reflections:
Some of my kids are becoming attached to me. In teacher cadets we talked about the kids who do not get much attention at home will be the ones that start getting attached and I can tell this is true. Most of my kids that are getting attached to me are the ones who never have their reading log read or things like that. They bring home a reading log everyday and I check to see who's read and who hasn't and it is interesting to see how those two things compare.
Stories:
One of my students painted me a picture the other day. It was so cute! She asked me how to spell my name and everything so she could put it on we paper. All of my kids always fight about who gets to sit beside me and it's so cute. They will fight about who gets to play with me also.
My teacher told me the kids ask every single morning where I am, even the morning when I don't go because they do not understand that I come every other day, so they are always concerned when I am not there every morning.
