I have enjoyed working with my mentor teacher this semester. It's fun watching her class grow throughout the year- I remember first coming to her in September and now looking at her students you would think they were a little family and they all have grown so much academically. I can't wait to be responsible for that process that students make throughout a school year.
Probably my favorite thing that her class does is "Compliments and Appreciation" at the end of the day each Friday. They gather in a circle on the carpet and take turns either "getting" or "giving" a compliment. I think this is a great way to create a positive atmosphere in Mrs. Renigar's class and I'd love to use this in my own classroom one day. The children seem to enjoy giving compliments even more than they do getting them which I have found interesting.
Overall, my field experiences have been a very positive experience for me since being able to observe and assist Mrs. Renigar has helped me gather ideas and techniques to use in my future classroom.
