Last day of Block 1

Today was the last day of Block 1 classes. I am glad that we had a class discussion about everything that we all observed in Practicum. It was nice to hear that we each had similar and also different takes on what we saw. And I feel like it was a very helpful conversation. I looked at my experience during Practicum in a whole new light. I learned that my experiences were more helpful than I thought they would be. As I look back on all that we learned about literacy and reading in RE 3030 and also on the experience in Practicum, I feel that I have truly learned so many ways to implement effective literacy strategies in my classroom in the future. I have also learned that it really is the teacher that matters. (quoting Dr. K. on that one!) I know that I have a long way to go, but I feel that I am better equipped to learn even more. I truly enjoyed the whole experience and I can't wait to learn more in Block 2!
