This week was another great one! I am truly having so much fun every day. I am getting to lead students in activities and get helpful insight from my teacher! On Monday, I got to teach a small group of kids about rhyming words. They had not yet been informed on what they were, and I was able to explain it with an activity to help them understand. The main focus was to increase the knowledge of similar sounds. I had the students play a game where they put blocks together that had pictures that rhymed. For example, one was cat, hat, rat, and bat. Those blocks were linked together and then the student said all of them aloud. It took a little while to get them to correlate sounds, but in the end, they walked away with a new skill. Wednesday, I lead another center but this time it was to help some individuals who don’t receive much help at home. They LOVED spending time working with me!! Our activity was to stamp their spelling words. It was extremely messy and I definitely walked away with ink covering my hands. However, it was well worth the mess. Seeing kids who do not get one on one time at home is truly eye opening. I could tell they valued the time we had together. As I left, several students said, “Bye, Miss Megan!” and I was smiling for the rest of the day. I am beyond thankful for the switch that has been made to ensure that I am being utilized to the best of my ability. I do feel as though I am making a difference and learning while working. I look forward to going in on Monday!
