Kindergarten Field for Math Methods
I had the opportunity to spend 11:30-12:50 every Wednesday in a kindergarten math class. I had a third grade math field for a different course on Tuesdays, so it was interesting to compare the two. I really enjoyed math from a teacher's perspective, even though I never liked my math classes growing up. I think my poor experiences in math helps me to much better understand how hard of a subject it can be for certain students. I did more observing rather than teaching, but my co-operating teacher was great to learn from. When I did have times where I could work one-on-one or in small groups, I loved finding different ways to explain the concept and seeing which one made the most sense to the student.
