A cab is hired to take us to Riverside Middle school every Wednesday. We have to complete 12 times of school field experience which is estimated to end by the end of March.
Everyone is so quiet in the cab, must be due to nervousness, and the cold too. After we report in at the office, we walk down to the gym where students are having their assembly every morning.
We meet our teacher partners and introduce ourselves. Lucyriver got Ms. Hawkins, who is teaching writing (ELA) to 8th grade students, as teacher partner. She has five classes every day which each lasts about an hour.
Lucyriver also wish to have own classroom like Ms. Hawkins has. It creates a sense of belonging and the identity of the teacher concerned. It definitely also makes things easier and convenient in many ways such as not having to lug books and teaching materials to classes.
At the end of the day, Lucyriver feel like singing 'A Hard Day's Night.' However, it is a wonderful experience being able to observe the writing lessons and the teaching methods and technology used.
We have our lunch at the cafeteria. Look, this is so typically American food. It costs $4 including a small bottle of orange juice.
