Summary of Today's Activities

The first and second graders had a pumpkin patch field trip to go to so we did not get a chance to see them today.  Today we had 4th graders and 3rd graders.  We continued playing through the haunted house and the scavenger hunt.  The day started off with doing bus duty and ended with car duty.  Everything has been pretty repetitive this week with the games and scavenger hunt, but I have to think that the students only get to do these activities once a week.  

Reflection

We had two students in our fourth grade class that were touching each other a little too much during class.  When I told the students to choose a partner a girl and boy chose each other and I did not think anything of it.  I found out later that the both of them have a crush on each other.  Anyways, when they were going through the bat cave in the haunted house I saw the boy put his hand on the girl's rear end.  I stopped them immediately and addressed the issue.  I told them that it was not appropriate for them to do that and I told the girl that it is not appropriate for a boy to do that to her.  When this occurred, she was not upset at all that the boy had done that to her.  These are things that you don't think you have to deal with at the elementary level, but you can not give these kids the benefit of the doubt.  I learn every day, while student teaching, on how to handle all of these different situations that you are not taught to handle in the classroom.
