REFLECTION BLOG

      Through out the physical poject for example shadowing my mentor, my goal remained the same through out the project.  My goals each time I saw my mentor was to try to talk to each kindergarden student as if i was talking to one of my friends cause I know if you try to baby talk the students, they will not learn their mistakes and learn that the students are wrong.  Each individual student is very different.  Before i use to think that each child was always cute, but I was very wrong!  There are some students who like to try and get attention on purpose, get introuble alot by being mean or disrespectful toards their classmates.  I also know how each teacher feels towards the end of the day and how hard it is.  I can see why certain teachers can loose their patcients with certain students and how much disrespect a teacher gets in one day.  By being a student myself and kind of being a teacher I saw both perspectives and how hard it is each end.  I also feel like i can speak in front of a class a little better than before.  I also feel like my comunication skill is better.  For example speaking to teachers because I would eat lunch with them in the teachers lounge and also towards the young ones that was inside Mrs. Fellners classroom.  Through out the whole physical portion of the project, I would still like to do this as a career but instead if doing just kindergarden I would like to see if I want to do middle and high school.
