my first observation at Aldo

Today I went to Aldo elementary school in Mrs. Messenger's kindergarten classroom. The student's I observed were male and female and Caucasian race. While I was there I was able to work with the students during centers. The center that I spent most of my time consisted of magnetic letters and white boards. With the letters and white boards, students were able to make words that ended with ing. I found it beneficial for most of the students but some of them were not willing to make a word. One student in particular was not willing to make a word. It seemed like the more I tried to help him to spell out a word, the less he wanted to. I am going to work on helping children like this student to be motivated to want to learn. The students that did want to learn and make out the words were very fun to work with. I helped them come up with different words to put on their board. Sometimes the students would misspell a word and I was then able to help them by sounding out the word and they could come up with the letter they needed to misplace or add to their word. Overall it was a very rewarding experience and I am looking forward to go back next week.
