I was able to spend at least twenty hours in a 1st grade classroom at Beaver Run Elementary school over the past couple months. It has been a wonderful experience and has shown me a lot of great examples of what we have been reviewing and learning in class. I have turned this into a personal field trip by taking note of the many different and educational experiences that have been going on within my first grade classroom. I have gone through what we have learned in ELED 304 and picked some of the vocab and terms that have been shown or expressed during my personal field trip.

There is a student in the class that needs some extra help and is behind in some subjects.

Overall my experience in the first grade classroom/my personal fieldtrip was very educational. I have learned how well the information we have learned in ELED 304 relates to teaching and every day in the class room. It has given me more experience with children and I am looking forward to spend even more time in
