Practicum 2

It is getting close to the last day of my practicum and I have to say that I have really enjoyed being in a 6th grade classroom and working with the students.  I have seem strategies being used that we are and have been learning to do by our professors.  Seeing the strategies in action by my host teacher has been interesting to see.  I now how much work and time a teacher has to put into everything they are teaching.  The time they have to spend on grading is quite a bit.  I have been able to grade tests and packets that the students have done and it takes time and can be a bit difficult trying to figure out what the students are trying to say.  I have learned a lot from being in the classroom and my host teacher is helpful and willing to answer any questions that I might have about the work or the students.  I know that I still have quite a bit to learn but I know that I am going to enjoy it.
