Journal #3 3/8/19

Today was my third visit at my internship with second graders and I feel as if I'm starting to to gain the respect of the students I work with. The teacher had me work on syllables with different letter sounds that they would need to know in order to move onto the third grade. Overall, the students had done great with the different syllable sounds. The teacher had given me a bingo game with sight words to play with the kids and they enjoyed that the most, they literally did not want to stop playing the game. Sadly, our time playing the bingo game together was shorter than the kids had wanted because the teacher had asked me to see who completed their homework and to go over their morning work with them as well. Almost all had done their work and brought it and they had all to understand the the morning work as well. There's this little girl in the group I work with that we'll call Lindsey who I found out hardly ever does her homework so in efforts of trying to get her to start doing her homework so she can earn more points, I made a pact/deal with her that I'm hoping will make her start doing her homework from now on. Lindsey seems like a real sweet kid and I can feel that I'm starting to connect with her more which makes me super happy. My only hope for the rest of my remaining time there is that I can connect with more than just the children that I work with every week.
