Second Quarter Field Placement has Begun!

Phuong and I were thrown right into a second grade classroom in the Renton School District. The school building is brand new and beautiful! One would not expect such a wonderful facility for this district-maybe more for Bellevue or Mercer Island! Nonetheless, the school has a lot of diversity-income, ability, and ethnic.

We have already corrected lots of literacy and math worksheets, attended their evening science fair, and played them in tetherball and H-O-R-S-E.

The students are very polite and well behaved, but with a few talk outs, a couple small fights, and some interesting inappropriate sayings once in a while...but very put together for these demographics and geographic area!

I'm excited to get even more involved with the students and develop more relationships with each of them!
