Field Experience 1
Grades 5 & 6
Overview
Activities
|
My first stage lasted 3 weeks at Dunrae Gardens School with Ms. Cindy in a grade 5 classroom as well as a grade 6 classroom. The main focus of this stage was to engage in observation in order to learn about how a school works and functions as as whole. I was able to attend a variety of classes for grade levels, which exposed me to a variety of teachers and teaching styles before spending the last week with Ms. Cindy,
During my time, I was given the opportunity to experience what a true teacher does in the classroom and what it means to be a teacher in an elementary school. I was also lucky enough to shadow and observe the principal, the vice principal, the lunch supervisors and the custodian during my time at Dunrae Gardens School. This allowed me to gain an appreciation for all entities in a school, and gave me a better understanding of what it means takes for an elementary school to function. |
