Courthouse
One significant thing that my school did in the first week of my field experience was conduct a "pretend courthouse". In this courthouse, the students were allowed to receive their own passports through a series of stations. These stations included getting your passport book, getting an immunization (fake of course), and getting a photo taken that would be put in the passport book. After participating in this activity, I believe that fun events like this are crucial to a child's education. If you can show the student's that you care, while connecting with them, the school's environment will be a lot more successful and strive. This activity also enabled students to pretend that they are in the real world, which is specifically what school prepares you for. My main reflective point for this day is to let students enjoy school, while learning and being more actively engaged on what is going on!

That sounds like a fun, interactive activity for students. I agree that the idea of school is to prepare students for the real world. The more activities you do that help make that real world connection the better!
ReplyDeleteHi Tyler!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great way to get students involved in aspects of social studies. I, too, believe that connecting with students by showing we care is how we improve their class participation and amount of information learned.
Great activity to incorporate students!
