My EPS 100 field work has come to a close. After making great connections with the students it broke my heart to leave. The children made Mr. Rask(yes, Kyle from this class) and me handmade thank-you cards. My heart just melted at the adorable messages and pictures the kids left us. Here are some of things I learned from the students while working with Grade 2 Students in Arcola Community School.
1. Walk means run, run means go crazy.
2. My monthly mood swings are peanuts compared to a child’s. Children of young ages have a hard time expressing and understanding their feelings. Generally they are happy or angry.
3. Hugs replace hellos and goodbyes.
4.”Race issue” mean arguing about who ran the fastest.
5. Sitting still equals impossible
6. You can never underestimate a child.
After my experience I realized that I had forgotten what it was like to be a child. I can’t remember not having stress or a busy schedule. When they say teaching keeps you young, I finally see why.
