Last Day at Elementary School

My second week at Elementary School. Again I am waiting on the students to enter in the classroom. This time there wasn't a Ipad for me to explore with. I had such a blast last time i was on the Ipad  and it is so much fun. Anyways, today i had to wait about an hour and a half before the children came into the classroom. At one time I thought Ms. C had forgot i was in there. It seemed like forever, but eventually they all came into the classroom. I was greeted by one of the students I helped the last time her name was miss A.I love little children, but i think I will be teaching Middle School.  I was greeted with a hug. I tell you elementary students are so sweet and thoughtful.  Today the children worked on book reports, some backdrop for the cafeteria murals, and a quiz. Today i helped the student miss A because she struggles with math. She reminds me when i was this age because like her i struggled with the same math. She was struggling with long division which i found challenging in fourth grade. Some multiplication facts that was set up with 2 extra or 3 extra numbers didn't settle well with me. They were problems like: 34X56 or 500X36. With the long division problems were like: 6/360 which is 60?. I could relate to what this little girl was going through it seemed so challenging back then, but really easy for me now. I would have to say that all the kids in the classroom seemed to all like me. I had so many coming up to greet me and talk to me. I like friendliness, all you have to do is smile and be nice to children and they will like you. I told the children that today was my last day at the elementary school. One of the students was like you were only here for 2 days i was like I'm sorry but my observation was only for 10 hours in all. Too bad we didn't have more hours. This experience has been great. I learned a lot with the younger children as well. I was glad to walk around the classroom and see what students needed help. I helped out with any quiz questions they wanted help with. I gave hints to them on the quiz of course. I also helped some children out with their spelling to help them for their next test. I, myself was always good in spelling and many don't know that i was in a spelling bee in 6th grade. The only thing was i didn't get far because i couldn't spell business. I hated that i didn't win, but oh well that's life. You win some, you lose some. Before the children went to lunch today i helped about 3 kids on their book reports for class which was fun. Then we went to lunch and then recess. I finally left after they came back in for recess. I told everyone good-bye for the last time.
