Reading Block Reflection #4

Wow! Tomorrow's the big day-our first day of field study for this block. I can't believe it's already here! I must admit, I'm not as excited for this one as I was for last semester. I'm kind of indifferent at this point. Hopefully, that will change once I get there and get to know the students and my mentoring teacher. Since we've been talking about the dreaded "90 minute reading block", I've been really anxious to see what is going to happen in our field study. I'm certainly feeling better about our placements this time around. Going into the school already knowing who I'm placed with is a definite relief. Already knowing what to expect (to a degree) is also calming. Reading lessons and read alouds really have the potential to be fun and exciting for the students. I really hope I can engage my students in our read aloud lessons and get them excited about reading. Maybe I will gain excitement about this semester's field study after tomorrow. Here's hoping!
