Today we worked with prefixes and suffixes. The student teacher actually lead the first two lessons. They started playing a game of musical chairs except they had to match their root word with a prefix or suffix. It was a lot of fun. Some of the kids made up fake words and it was funny to see all the different funny words. Apparently their is a huge wrestling craze going on because the lesson involved John Cena (a professional wrestler) and his power house suffixes and prefixes. It was fun to see the kids run around the room and scramble to match root words with prefixes and suffixes. I am just starting to learn the kids names and the kids are becoming more familiar with me in the classroom. however, I sort of feel a disconnect with my involvement in the classroom. I emailed my teacher and asked her if I could participate more or some suggestions on how I should be participating. Its challenging because there is a student teacher in the room, so you have 3 people all trying to get the kids involved with learning. I feel its best to step away sometimes and just observe.
