Second To Last Class

It was so weird not to go back to Summerville Elementary this week! I really enjoyed my time there and am going to miss (I already am) Mrs. Young and my students. I can only hope to have a practicum teacher liker her. I truly learned so much from her and I will take her behavior management techniques with me througout my teaching career.

I loved class this week. It was so wonderful to finally hear about everyone's family and case study child that they used for their systems model project. I loved hearing about all different kinds of families, and it seemed that with everyones presentation there was an extreme varitety of family types which made the presentations so interesting. I also found it so interesting to see how each childs family system is so distinct and individualistic. Not one of the models seemed even remotely close to another for me and it really allowed me to see as a teacher how different child is and what kind of influences each has on his or her life. It allowed me to remeber to take this information into consiteration that every child has a different background and therefore they are going to experience things in the classroom differently and learn differently as well. I truly enjoyed listening to all of the different situations that the children in our classrooms have.
