On Tuesday, February 7th, the Social Studies Methods class went into a fourth grade class at St. Joseph's to start fieldwork. As a class of twenty-five, we were split up into five groups and had to come up with a getting to know you activity. Each group came up with fun activities to get to know all about the students. For the group I was in, we created a coat of arms with questions such as "What us your heritage?" to learn more about the students. They seemed to enjoy the activity and were willing to talk about themselves. They shared things like how many people were in their family of what their favorite color was. After we all shared our coat of arms, we did a quick pre-test and asked them a few questions about the middle ages. Each student seemed to have a good understanding so far which was great to find out. After about fifteen minutes, we switched to the next group of students and did the same thing until we got through the whole class. It was nice to finally put a face to all the students. I am looking forward to a wonderful semester with them!
