I think that my expectations of the preschool were different than reality. I expected it to be a lot more stressful, and hard to keep the kids focused and entertained, but it's actually quite easy if you get them interested in playing. My expectations of running the preschool was that it would be hard to maintain everything going on, but since there were so many of us (teachers) to help with the kids, it moved smoothly. One instance that I thought was going to be hard was getting all the kids to come to circle and be quiet, but it was somewhat easy because we had lots of teachers to help get them focused and sitting down. I had a great time this week, and can't wait for next week! :)

     This week I was in the special Ed classroom. I learned quite a lot of things from being there this week! It was a great opportunity for me to see how the students learn and interact with each other. The students all participated and learned at different paces, so it was important to go slow and move forward at a pace that worked for each student. Clara, Emily, and I were able to sit with a different student each day, and learn what they're capable of and what they needed some help on. Overall, I think this week was great, but I can't wait to get back to the preschool!
