First Week in the Field

This first few days of field has been really great. We are so lucky! We were put in a wonderful classroom, with a wonderful teacher. She is so patient with us and really helps where she can. We worked it out with her so that we go all day on Wednesdays and then for three hours on the rest of the days. So our first day was kind of long, but exciting. We tried quickly to learn all of the kids names. We did also get to help during math time a little bit.

On Thursday, the kids were learning a bit about world hunger. They divided up the desks and students to make it proportionate to the way the world is. Then she handed out money and cookies in ratio to what the world is like. We got to help handout money and cookies it was awesome. The other really cool part of the day was P.E. They played a game where there were cards in the middle of the gym. They had divided up into five different teams. One student per team would run and grab a card from the stack. It would say something like, “Sing Jingle Bells while hoping on one foot” and other fun things that like that. The whole team had to do it, and then the next member would run and grab another card. At the end, the team who completed the most cards won. It was so fun!

Today, Friday, we got to help pump up the footballs for P.E. The teacher hooked up a projector thing that showed a book about world hunger. It was a good day, and what a great group of kids!
