Final Reflection

This last half of the semester has gone a lot better then the first. We have spent a lot of time at Apache Elementary school helping the students work on their Chautauqua performances. To be quit honest I feel that I have learned more from working with these students then I have in the actual class. Know I don’t meet that I haven’t new and interesting thing in this class, but there is truly no replacement from working one on one with students in a classroom setting. Being able to work with these students, I have learned that every students is different, not only by the way that they learn, but also by the way that someone’s culture is. Meaning that the learning still in every culture is different, just like the way that someone who was raised and educated in New York City learning style will be different from someone that was raised on the Navajo Reservation in the Four Corners area. As I was working with these two boys, I found that I had to ask different kinds of question and explain things in different ways, so that both would understand what was needed of them.

As for the assignments that we all have been working on. I feel that I have done, at lest for me, the best that I could do. I have done things a little different this semester, like having all my work done on a webpage, which for me was the hardest thing to keep up on, because I have never done any thing like this before. However, I feel that as for a grade I have earned about a B+.
