I just realized that I haven’t blogged in a month…oops. Well
anyways, I am back to campus and adjusting to a new semester. I am used to all
linguistics classes, but now I am only in one linguistics class and many
education classes! In my linguistics class, we are studying Indonesian in a
mock-field-study environment.
I am going to start observing 5th grade this
semester and by the end of next school year, I will be student teaching! I am
excited. Today, we started with “light.” We made word maps of the ideas that
the kids already knew about light and sound. We talked about how sound and
light are both kinds of energy and are both waves. I learned today that light
CAN travel in a vacuum because otherwise we wouldn’t be able to see the sun
(since space contains vacuums). I was also surprised by the number of ways
children can spell “vacuum”)!!
So, now you’re more educated about light and I have a better
log of what I have done so far in my practicum. It’s a win-win. :)
