Gesu Visit 7

During my seventh visit at Gesu, the students had show and tell. They were very eager to share their drawings with the class and how explain why they made them and the thought they put into them. After show and tell, they watched the Veggie Tales which they were excited about. They were very attentive during the movie. They also had just come back from recess so I noticed that a movie was a good way to calm them down. It allowed the teacher and the teachers aid to get stuff done. Playing a movie that appeals to the students gets their attention. After this, the children went to the library. During story time, the librarian asked how the students felt when they received a new baby brother or sister if they were an only child. Most of them replied in a positive way and said they were happy and excited although some of them said they felt jealous. The story read to them was about a crocodile who got a baby brother and was very jealous of the attention he received. He felt like his mom payed more attention to his baby brother than she did to him. This related to the discussion the students had before the story. This was my last day at Gesu and I overall enjoyed my experience there. It gave me a glimpse of the what the teaching world is like and it was great to be able to have an experience like this so soon into my freshman year.
