Third Visit to my Elementary School

Going back to my elementary school  for a third time seems like a routine already. I just started walking there instead of driving. Its great exercise. Walking in to the building feels so natural like I'm meant to be there. Knowing that I get to go and make someones education that much better makes what I do well worth it. I love walking through the door seeing their faces just light up. This visit one of the little girls complimented me on hair she was so cute. Like I explained before Im not a reading buddy, I get to work with the whole class, which for me broadens my experience. I get to experience all different types of students and how they learn. I get to help a knew group of kids each visit it seems. They all learn at different speeds and levels. I learn so much from just watching the teacher I work with. She's a huge inspiration for me. When it's my turn to become a teacher I want to be just like her, but a little more organized I hope. 
    When I walked into the school the children were still in recess, so I signed in, grabbed the visitor pass, and walked down to the classroom to wait for the children. While waiting in the hall next to the classroom door I got the chance to observe all the work on the wall. There was work from the students of all different grades, as well as posters that have saying on them such as "success starts with believing in yourself" or "Who you are begins with what you do." They came in shortly after and did their usual routine of lining up at the bathroom. Girls go first then the boys. Yes they use the same bathroom, but know not at the same time. Then when everyone is finished they head into the classroom and like I said before put their jackets and lunch boxes away. 
     They all went to the carpet like usual. This week the teacher reviewed the work they learned the passed two days because she has been at meetings so she's missed the last two days. They were learning about Helen Keller and her life as someone who was blind and deaf. The kids seemed to have a pretty good grasp of her. While the teacher was talking to the children I got to correct some of the kids work on Helen Keller. It was pretty cool seeing examples of work they have to do.  When she was through talking to them about Helen Keller she tells them to go back into the story about Helen in their reading books and answer the three questions at the end of the story. She then sent them back to their desks.
    She picked three students for me to to work with. She chose these three because they can speak great ideas, but when it comes to getting them all down on paper is a whole different story. I got to help them take what they speak and put it into words. They are extremely intelligent and know exactly what they are talking about.  We talked about the answer first then I had them tell me what they were going to write and thats where they got lost. So I came up with an example and they started writing. They did incredibly well, sometimes a little nudge in the right direction makes all the difference.
    When everyone was done with all the questions they were sent back to their desks. They had to get their spelling homework out to take home. I passed out papers for them to take home to their parents while another student passed back corrected work. Then I had the teacher sign my paper and watched the kids get ready putting their jackets on and pack their bags, as well as putting their chairs onto of their desks. Then I say goodbye to all the kids and walk back to the office sign out and put the guest pass back. I walk back to campus. I cant wait to see my kids again next week.
