Time to say Goodbye

These last few weeks have came and gone so quickly. Today is our last day at St. Josephs working with the fourth grade students. Each group has had their opportunity to teach a lesson and today the final group will wrap up the complete lesson on medieval times for  the last time. Today's set up was a little different then normal being that their were state exams being given. The students met us in the gym and sat on the floor rather than their desks and waited to be taught their last and final lesson. Us college students sat around the gym in chairs for one last time. I thought the last and final group did a great job wrapping up their lesson being that they were dealing with a different situation than usual. The kids were not sitting in their desks they were on the floor but they worked well in their groups and completed everything that they needed too.

At the end of the lesson it was our turn to ask questions and say goodbye. We talked to the kids a little bit about what they have learned throughout our time at St. Josephs. We also thanked the students for allowing us to come into their classroom in the middle of the school year and work with them. Each and every student worked hard and worked well throughout our time at St. Josephs. It was such a pleasure to be able to work with these students along with working with each other to make this time spent with these children unforgettable. We were given the experience we all cannot wait to have one day and that is to stand up in front of a classroom full of children and teach. We opened up to each of them as they opened up to us over time. We were able to teach lessons, create projects and see how each individual student worked and their thought process by reading the questions some left in thew wonder box and so much more.

It was finally time to go, we clapped for one another and thanked one another for this awesome experience. I hope we were able to impact some of these children's lives as each of them impacted ours throughout this semester.
