Field Experience Summary
Field Experience Summary
I chose to do my field experience in Garland ISD at Freeman Elementary school. It’s located off of Walnut near Garland rd in Garland, Texas. I wasn’t sure what to expect, since this is my first time observing in a classroom. The Asst. Principle placed me in two different classes.

The other two days that I observed were in the fourth grade bilingual class. This class was a very small class only eleven students were in it. While they were learning and reviewing material they used a game from the internet similar to Jeopardy. It was something fun, but also interacting together while reviewing their science material. On my last day while I was observing the teacher had the students go over their writing composition of their TAKS test. They sat in a group on the floor while each one read aloud to the class. Then, students made a positive comment and something they found wrong or something they could improve. Also, another way the teacher had them review was when they had a restroom break. While in line the teacher would ask the multiplication problems while standing in line. I saw that the class was traditional style and constructivist style of teaching. I believe it was more constructivist than traditional. The children did a lot of interacting with each other and with the teacher
