Day 1: Check!

Today was the first day of fieldwork! It was very successful if I do say so. There were four groups of students that we got approximately eight minutes with. We got to know the students a little. My group and I created puzzle pieces that we filled with our name and things we like such as hobbies, favorite things etc. We asked the students to fill the pieces in with things about them so we can get to know them a little bit better. In the end we hope that we can connect them all together and make a big puzzle linking all the student’s pieces! Here’s how mine turned out! 

My puzzle piece!

             The students seemed to really enjoy creating their own puzzle pieces and we learned about their likes, families, hobbies etc. While we were doing this activity we were asking the students about some of the past presidents and our current president. They seemed to know some important aspects of the presidents, which was great! Our topic that we will be teaching the students will be about our nations leaders. Some of the students today seemed to have an interest in our past leaders, so I’m sure they will enjoy the lessons that we will be preparing for them.
             Getting to meet and work with the students, even though it was for a little amount of time, was very fun. It got me very excited for our upcoming visits with this class. All of the students are very sweet and seem willing to work, which is fantastic. Most of the students were already very curious about what we were going to be learning about together.
