Placement Recap

The past two week s of my placement at EXPO Elementary has gone smoothly and thus far been a good experience. I have worked with three different groups consisting of 3rd, 5th, and 6th graders. The older students mostly only need extra help when trying to spell complex words or when trying to comprehend new ideas form articles or books they are reading. I have been helping the younger students with phonics mostly.

The classroom that I have been placed in is very different from the one that I worked in last semester at Ramsey Junior High. In this classroom thee are a lot more objects and colors around the room. To me it seems like as a student it would seem like a setting where you would feel calm and secure, which we know to be very important for learning to take place.

I'm excited for next week because I get to follow some of the students around to the other classes they go to. This will be interesting since I will get to see the LD students interaction in their mainstream classrooms. So far I think I have had a fun time at my placement and look forward to it every week.
