How to Thrive During Your Field Site Experiance

   Hello, Welcome back to my first post of Ana's Sign 2 me! Today's topic will be about how will you expected to do on your first day in your field site. I will be talking about this topic, according to Mrs.Kallas's topic and this is my opinion about it. Also, here's the link to learn more about these tips about how can you use your experience once you enter to your class room and learn more about this
article.

  •        I think the easiest tips that I can do is to get to know my kids. The reason why I think it's easier is that you can use this child's interests for education use like for a example. Who watched the movie called "TEACH"? There was one teacher who worked with these kids who are way behind and he used the same books from the school over and over and over again. Those kids probably got bored with the same books so what he did was he used the kids' interests and in the end, their reading improved.

  • One of the tips that I find challenging is reflecting my lesson. Honestly, I'm scared about my own future lessons because you created a lesson and you have to present the subjects to your own students. As a teacher, you aren't sure if your students understand the lesson and that's what I'm worrying about. What if your students took a STARR test and your students failed because you didn't taught the lesson the right way? It actually happened to me but I'll explain in a moment. Well. Now on my next bullet list!

  •    So as I was saying on the last bullet point, last year, I used to work with my former teacher and their grade level was about kindergarten through 1st grade in Deaf Education. I was teaching for my first lesson in forever (see what I did there?) and I was pretty nervous. In the end, it didn't go well as I thought, thanks to my currently Deaf Ed teacher who explain my mistakes. On the second lesson, I got better with more research and advices from my mentor(s).
               If you are reading my post, thank you for helping me and supporting with my second lesson, you rock!
        Any way, that ended my topic so thanks for reading!
