My first day of work experience!

Today was my first day of work experience at Ms. Pia’s class at AIS.  It was pretty fun, even though it is a lot of work with that many little kids around.  They really keep you on your toes!  But it was fun being ‘Ms. Emily’ for the day.  Haha.  I guess the day seems longer than a usual school day because I’m not busy doing school work of my own and I stay later too.  I only stayed until 3 though, not 3:30.   One of the first things the kids did after ‘circle time’ was alternate between three tables. There was an art table, a reading table, and a table with play-dough.  I was at the play-dough table and got to meet some of the kids for the first time.  After that they had snack time and then went to the play-ground/soccer field.  I ‘played’ catch with some of the little kids.   During the rest of the day they had music, reading time, and counting numbers and making words, which I helped with.  We also had lunch time where I got a 30 minute break.  (I could have gotten a 30 minute break at snack time also, but I chose to eat with the kids instead.)  Also, one of the kids in the class has autism and another has down-syndrome.  Those two kids need extra care with which the other two classroom helpers help with.
