I have really enjoyed my time in Field III. It has been my favorite field experience, and I believe that I took away so much knowledge about how to manage the classroom, and I learned about the importance of learning about your students' families and how to incorporate them into the classroom environment. At the beginning of the semester, I was very nervous about going to do the home visit. However, my whole attitude about it was changed after we went to visit our child's parents. I found the home visit to be the best way to get to know more about the child. I learned more than I thought I would about the child just through this visit. I know that as a teacher, I will be sure to make home visits to each of my students families.
Another think that I learned in Field II was about how important it is to stay in touch with the families of your students throughout the school year. It can be through email, or a simple phone call, or through an informal conference if a formal one cannot be scheduled. It is important to let the families know about the child's progress,whether positive or negative, throughout the year. This way, you can work with the families to help the child be as successful as they can be.
