    Capstone -- Youth Engagement

    Unfortunately and unknowingly at the time, this was my last day at Rigler. The P.E classes went well, as they have for the last few weeks. I spent some time cleaning the yoga room and other hi-touch surfaces in an attempt to help prevent any spread of coronavirus. I got to spend my last hour with Mr. White's class. I did some math exercises with some of the students and then I helped one of the students with his English reading. It was nice to get to see and help out in Mr. White's class because while I see these students each week in the gym, I don't see them in the classroom.

    Capstone -- Youth Engagement

    This day at Rigler went really well! I have been trying to apply more of the readings, theories, and discussions from the CAPSTONE class to my time at the school. Specifically, I have been trying to keep in mind the different personality types and how certain behaviors may reflect a misalignment between teaching styles and a student's personality. I notice that there are some students who do better in class when given regular, positive feedback. There are other students that when pointing out how well they are doing appear shy or uncomfortable and may even stop what they are doing. The longer I am in these classes, the better I know the students and I can modify my interactions with each of them to best suit their needs.

    I also spend an hour in one of the kindergarten classrooms. I find that I really enjoy working with these really young students. It was really great to see how the teacher incorporated seamlessly both English and Spanish into the students' activities. It was also interesting to see how classroom management changes between the gym and the classroom. I am looking forward to being able to go into more classes and see different teaching styles over the next few weeks.

    Today's experience was a lot better than last week. Colleen was there and the kids clearly like her and have a lot of respect for her. I was impressed with how well she manages the chaos. She has some really great routines in place so the kids know what is expected of them every time they come to P.E. For the most part, I was just observing and lending a hand in class when it was needed. There is a break in between classes and I was able to help on some other projects for Colleen.
