Working with my pre-k classroom these past two weeks has been amazing! I can't lie, I still don't know all their names but they all sure do know mine. My mentor teacher also plays a big part in why I enjoy going to sites everyday I can; she is an absolutely great teacher. She is a teacher that truly values the age group she teaches and understands they're still children that want to play, but can absolutely be taught effectively at the same time. I clearly remember my first day of sites, when they showed me what they do after they eat breakfast, they dance! Most of the students speak Spanish as their first language as well as I do and the music that they dance to is regional Spanish music, much of which I also dance too. Last year I had a student who would ask about me and it looks like this year I have one too, my teacher told me it seems like I have a little admirer.
My students are constantly reminded that they are champions and so they behave like such. Unfortunately due to time I'm only able to actually work with them for about 15 minutes. During that time I take out different pairs of students out to the hallway and practice sounds with them. I have been able to observe the students that have mastered their sounds and the ones that have not. I am also able to see which students really know what sound goes with what letter compared to others which just repeat the sounds as they hear them, something that I will work on with certain students. Overall I love my pre-k champions!
