The morning started off really well. We switched groups this week so I had a brand new group of kids. The kids were well behaved and they really listened to me and respected what I was saying. They were not distracting and didn't try and get me off task. They had exceptional behavior and really listened to my suggestions. I was really impressed with how they read the text looking for clues and analyzing the pages. When it was time to do the activity, they didn't complain or make excuses. They were very diligent and used the book as a resource. During recess I was able to observe how the kids interacted with one another. I saw a lot of kids getting along and showing respect. But I did observe some girl drama and some rude comments. For 4 summers I have worked at a summer camp in Spokane, WA. For 3 summers I was a camp counselor and for my 4th summer I was in a leadership position. Every single summer I have observed the same behavior with boys. They simply cannot refrain from touching each other. I don't know if its genetically programmed into the male psyche but, boys cannot resist grabbing each other, touching one another, pushing and shoving. This is what I observed on the playground.  Boys touching and grabbing. Now I understand it's all fun and games but the touching and grabbing aspect can escalate pretty quickly if not dealt with. Back to my job, this camp caters specifically to low income families, foster kids, etc. So I have seen fights escalate from just a playful shove. It's always a good idea to make sure that we respect our boundaries and not touch anyone. At the school, I observed a lot of playful touching and I almost wanted to run in and break it up. That's one thing that I really get nervous about, we need to make sure and teach our children to have boundaries and respect our bodies. because I've personally seen the aftermath of just a playful shove or touch. It can lead to a full on fight. So, with that being said overall my experience was very good and i am slowly but surely beginning to become more comfortable in the classroom.
