This week I began my Community Field Experience (CFE) at an elementary school in North Vancouver. Over the past two days I have had the opportunity to moc TTOC in a Grade 3/4 and Grade 5/6 classroom. This has been an interesting learning opportunity as I spent my practicum in a Grade 2 classroom. I have worked with various age groups before, but teaching various grades is new to me. I have really enjoyed this experience and had the opportunity to try out different strategies with the different ages. I also got to experience what it would be like to work as a TTOC and walk into a classroom and run a class without having already gotten to know the students.
In addition to moc TTOCing, I have been able to observe in a Grade 3 classroom and will also be learning about working in a school library. I am looking forward to the rest of my first week and the remainder of my CFE experience.
