Working in my kindergarten classroom has been an incredibly rewarding experience. A large portion of the time I spend in the classroom, the students work in small groups at various rotations between the other teachers and myself. The rotation station that I lead is where students come to practice their writing and spelling skills. We use various techniques such as practicing our alphabet-phoneme song and breaking words down into individual phonemes in order to string them together to spell entire words. Working with the students in these small groups has allowed me to become familiar with each student’s writing and spelling abilities. As a result, I am able to witness, first-hand, each student’s educational growth as it occurs, which in and of itself, is a remarkable experience. Moreover, knowing that I have helped contribute to their growth makes it an even more satisfying experience. I’m super psyched that I have the opportunity to make a difference in young students’ lives by continuing the work I do in my kindergarten classroom and with Project DIRECT.
P.S. Beginning my Monday mornings by walking into a classroom of enthusiastic students who are excited to greet and hug me is a pretty awesome way to start the week.
