My day began with the smiles of the students in Ms. Norah, the third grade teacher's room. I worked one on one with all of the students in this room on different kinds of math problems. With every single completed problem, each of the students was overwhealmed with joy. Seeing their faces light up like that was the best part of my entire day. Each of the students in this classroom usually works at their own pace, and with their own different lesson. Ms. Norah has her hands full at all times with her five students, all with different disabilities. My respect for these teachers who work so hard has grown so much over the past few days.
The rest of my time at the school was spent in the Preschool room. This room is complete mayhem. No teaching goes on what so ever. As I tried to control and calm down everyone, it was brought to my attention that the camera was something everyone enjoyed. They were mesmorized by it, so I took pictures of each and showed them over and over again. We all sat in a circle looking at photos for a good 15 minutes before things got wild again. It was good to see that the students were able to express themselves in this class though.
Today has been one of the more relaxing days I've been here but I've enjoyed getting to know each one of the students' quirky personalities. Conchita, one of the brightest, happiest girls I know, is always smiling and giving hugs and kisses. She brightens my day with every hello. I'm dreading the day I'll have to say goodbye.
Much love,
Gena
