Somehow throughout my education I forgot the amount of energy that second graders have. But, the moment I sat down in my apartment (for the first time all day), I was very aware how exhausted I was.
Besides assisting the teacher there was one assignment called "a bag of introduction" that was extremely helpful.
What you do is bring in a bag, any bag and fill it with 4-5 items that describe you. Here are some examples of things my classmates and I brought it.
Sunglasses- like warm weather and sunshine
Favorite Movie (kid friendly)
Favorite Book (on grade level)
Hunting/Fishing License
Coffee Mug
Passport
etc.
Then you pull out each item one at a time and explain what it is and ask the students questions about it. Make them guess what it is, describe it and then pull it out, ask if they have one too etc, this was a great way for them to know me and keep their interest!
It was a really great experience and I'm defiantly looking forward to teaching more lessons!
