I love my class!!! I went in today because they do not have school tomorrow and we are on spring break so I had some extra time to make it in. This is such a wonderful class, and Kari is a great teacher! I also LOVE being at Ramsey because I know so many people there. I got to see some more children from Adventures plus in the hall way. They are in second grade now and are growing up so fast. I got to see one little girl, Maddie who was at Adventures Plus as long as I was. It is true how children have an impact on you.
When I got to the class the children were excited to see me. I was able to work with three children on their math boxes. Doing this once again made me realize how much different they are teaching math. There was a subtraction problem that they were having a really hard time with. I did not know how to explain it to them, and felt kinda stupid. So I asked Kari how to best explain it to them and she told me few ways they are taught to subtract, a main thing is them understanding why their method works. So we talked about that with them and I had the children work together to figure the problem out. After math Kari asked me if I would read a chapter from their story to them, I forgot my glasses today but I made it through the chapter. :) Today acted as a Friday and we did fun club after the story. A child's father brought in some ice cream snacks and the children loved that! They were very wild today since it was the last day of school before break, but I had fun! This has been a great experience so far and I am excited for the rest of my time I am able to spend at Ramsey.
