Tell
about an opportunity you had to work with a small group.
The
second half of my time each week in Mrs. Shumway’s room is during “Daily 5.”
This is when they have small group time to rotate through stations focusing on
reading and writing. I read with one of the groups in guided reading. It was
really interesting for me to be able to observe some of their differences in
learning styles. Some of the students were auditory learners and enjoyed
hearing the book read out loud. Another student was a kinesthetic learner. He
had physical actions he did while mentally completing different reading
strategies. Other visual learners talked a lot about the pictures and how that
helped them understand the book.
As
I read with this group, I was really grateful for the public education system
we have set up today. Before public
education, only wealthy boys were able to go to school. I looked at the group
and saw bright little girls and sharp young boys who would not have been able
to go to school back then due to wealth or gender. Public education allows all
children, no matter their circumstance, the opportunity to have a quality
education.
