Field Experience - 3/23/2012

Communication with colleagues, others  

Friday consisted of another beautiful day out on the playground. I was previously told by my host teacher that we would be inside regardless of the weather. He informed me on my arrival that we would be going outside because of future weather conditions being poor. I was also not informed that we would be combining two of the Pre-K classes. So there was around 30 kids running around on the play ground. A few other people in the class working also showed up. There was four of us essentially being attacked by most of the class. The kids continue to be entertained and active just by playing tag. Tag turns into more of chase the teacher. The whole time we kept the kids moving and active. We did not communicate well at organizing a game or activity. We let the kids have their freedom and let them become active on their own. During the tag games the teachers were the ones being chased. When we were caught we were put in the “lava.” At this time we all understood that we were to play along and continue to stimulate their imagination. By the end of class the host teacher and ourselves talked about upcoming assignments we need to do for curriculum project. Hopefully a step in the right direction.
