So far my placement has been pretty sad and frustrating. Still to this day my CT doesn't know my name even though I where a name tag and she signs my sign in sheet. This is pretty frustrating because although she is nice she seems pretty passive and doesn't take an interest in me and on Monday she gave me an activity to get ready and cut out all of the materials while she was in the room. We were in a room together silent for 35 minutes. I have tried in the past to create conversation but it doesn't carry on after I spark conversation and ask questions. I wish she would take more of an interest in my place in her classroom.
Also, as I have talked to many people about she doesn't do much with her kindergartners besides worksheets. She shows them how to do a worksheet and then they go to their seat and do it. There is no creativity, songs, movement, there is not much given to them where they can flourish and use their imaginations. This is a huge concern because all of these students are very low performers, very low, so they need things that they can succeed at and be creative and grow.

When I have had these problems I would often just say or try, to ask to bring a book in and read to the children. There doesn't have to be a lesson behind it. You could read something like "if you give a mouse a cookie" and bring in cookies. They would love it and Im sure she wouldnt mind because she wouldnt have to do anything- just a thought Hope things get better!!
