Week Eleven Post

With the semester quickly wrapping up, I'm beginning to reflect on this first cluster and field experience as a whole. I was disappointed with my field placement and the lack of experience I gained from it; I was expecting some sort of opportunity to teach a lesson or get in front of the classroom instead of just observing. I am hoping that before I am student teaching I will get to accomplish some real time teaching a class some sort of lesson or activity. I have definitely enjoyed the classes in this first cluster though. I think the material we have learned in information that will be extremely useful in my future classroom. It has made me excited about what is to come in the future semesters as far as material and books I will carry with my after I graduate. I thought the textbooks our teachers selected were excellent and I will probably be keeping most of them to have in my classroom. I enjoyed learning about writer's notebooks and how much they can contribute to a student's writing craft and to a classroom as a whole, I know that will be one thing I will do with my students no matter what grade I end up teaching.
