field week 3

Well we finished up our lessons. Field has been a great experience and I have learned so much. I started out thinking that the teacher and the students in this 5th grade class ran by some strange rules, yet I finally get it. Giving students the freedom to be who they are going to be and guiding by example and expectations does actually work. I would have never guessed. Some fun things that I learned this week are that students are so advanced in technology these days. I would not be surprised if in the next couple of years a lap top computer is added to the list of supplies that students need for school. The students in this class already use computers at least two times a day to help them with testing, typing, language arts, math and social studies and then some of them come in on their lunch break to surf the web and catch up on current event. It is incredible and so advanced, we have come so far!
