Week 8: Field Trip and Inquiry


         My first field trip was quite an experience. I was ready for fun, and an easy day. But it was anything but easy. It was fun, but I was exhausted.
         On Thursday, we went to the University of Florida fishery and learned about many different types of fish. We got to see fish, feel fish, and at the end of the day even got to go fishing. I thought It was an overall great experience for the kids, but an exhausting one too.
            I also got to work a little more with my inquiry this week. It was a weird week since we just got back from spring break, but it was natural to just fall back into schedule with our class. My mentor teacher is being so helpful when it comes to my inquiry. She has helped me with building ideas and implementing these ideas in the classroom. She has helped me start to work with the behavior of my inquiry student, and to zero in on what she really need work and help on.
            As I learn more and more about my inquiry student, I know I will narrow down my field of study. I will focus on one subject to watch and work on with her and to hopefully improve her behavior during. I am excited to see how this will all work out and to see the changes I am hopeful to see in her.
