Second Visit to My Elementary School

Going back to my elementary school brings me so much joy. Seeing their faces light up with excitement every time I walk through the door makes me want to be a teacher more and more. Im not a reading buddy, but a teachers helper you could say. I love the teacher I work with I really look up to her. I work with second graders and as most know they are hyper active youngsters. They don't like to sit in their chairs especially after lunch, which just happens to be the time I go to visit. They just replenished their energy and are all antsy in their seats. Try to control them at this time is in no way easy, but my teacher has the perfect sternness that keeps all the children in line.
When I walked backed through that door I signed in grabbed the visitors pass and right as I went to head to my classroom my teacher walks in. She asks me to follow her and when we go to the stair case she tells me to wait there, so I wouldn't get trampled and she headed out to get her class from recess.  All the kids pilled in from the youngsters all the way up to sixth grade. I felt so short compared to those sixth graders haha. Shortly after the big kids came in my class walked up the stairs and I joined the teacher as we lead them to the classroom.
Before the kids could enter the classroom they had to line up at the bathroom. The girls went first then the boys. This was so that they wouldn't have to interrupt the class later. After everyone was finished everyone was told to put their jackets and lunch boxes away and meet on the carpet. From their the teacher talked about lunchtime and recess and all that happened. Recapping them on how they should behave during those times.
From their she split them up into two groups she got the children who need more help and I got the advance group. I had them read through the story that was being taught that day. Then ask them questions about the story to see how much they were listening. This helped them broaden their understanding of the reading. I had the teachers book, which was a lot of fun and quit a change. Then I assigned them the three questions that were given at the end of the story to answer in their reading notebooks.
There was this one girl in my group who walk into the classroom after lunch with a little attitude and it stuck with her through the whole rest oh the school day. She didn't want to participate, but I tried to get her involved as much as I could. I asked her questions and asked her to read parts of the story as well, but she pushed herself off to the side away from the group. After the activity I told the teacher and she wrote a letter to the child's parents to let them no her behavior in class that day.
Having that experience with trying to help a student and teaching a whole group of students for the first time was so satisfying and an awesome experience. I cant wait to have many more experience's and learn  from all of them. In the end it will just make me a better teacher. That was the second visit at my elementary school.
