Field Experience Reflection





1. How many hours did you complete? 

 I completed 5 hours of field experience


2. In a short paragraph or bulleted list, how did you spend your time?
  • observed Kindergarten teacher teach a reading lesson
  • helped teacher monitor and assist students with assignments
  • collaborated with teacher about the KTIP lesson plan
  • taught reading/science lesson to class over wind measurement

3. How did the experience help you to strengthen at least one Kentucky Teacher Standard? (be sure to name the standard)

I strenghtened KTS 8 (The teacher collaborates with colleagues, parents and others). 
Although I collaborate with the other third grade teacher in my school, I found it helpful to collaborate
with a teacher from a different grade level.  She had some really good ideas and cooperative learning
activities that I can modify and use in my 3rd grade classroom.

4. Talk a little about one thing you learned because of this field experience.

I learned how different it was to teach Kindergarten.  I am use to my students in third grade being independent.  I also found out how structured the daily routine must be, but there also needs to be alot of flexibility.
