At my field study location

This past Tuesday I visited my field study location for the second time. I really enjoy spending time observing the teacher, her students, and the classroom. I visit the classroom in the morning for an hour and a half. During that time the teacher focuses on phonics and reading with the kids. They go over basic sounds and words. I like how the teacher incorporates songs and dances into the lessons. I notice that the kids participate more during these songs and dances. They also practice counting and go over the weather and the days of the week. Sitting in this classroom reminds me of doing these very same activities when I was in kindergarten.
The first time I met these kids, they seemed shy. A couple of them asked why I was here or what I was writing. I explained to them that I thought they are all so interesting that I wanted to learn from them. I think that surprised them, but I can already tell they are starting to get used to me visiting every Tuesday. Although I have ideas about who to pick for my child study, I still have not picked which child specifically. I can already see that each child is unique and interesting. I’m sure I can learn a lot from whichever child I choose. The children review rules every morning just like the children in this video. The classroom and the teacher remind me a lot of the classroom I visit:
