Thursday was my 21st birthday, and I couldnt of celebrated it in any other way, I woke up at 6:15 a.m to start my observing/ field experience at Warren Central in beautiful Indianapolis. Going into the first day I had some ideas on what to expect. These ideas were much different from what really occured, and I had a wonderful experience!
To start off we toured the facilities and I was blown away by the Media Center and the Career center, personally I think the career center was the most impressive and the ideas and resources that go along with it are outstanding.
My teacher was Mrs. Kines, WHO WAS TERRIFIC!!!!! She graduated from Indiana University, and the majority of ther classes were World Geography, a subject that I am extremely interested in, and feel very knowledgeable about as well.
I had some interactions with the students during a class period where they needed help on test corrections. This time tested my geography knowledge as the test was on Eastern Europe, however I succedded and broadened the few students knowledge.
A down side to the day was that for two periods, the students took essay based exams. This was extremely boring and quiet, as it was impossible to interact with the students. However, I realize this was the first day and Mrs. Kines told us to be prepared for better activities next week. (Pumped!)
Seeing students interact during passaing periods was great too, this time I really got a feel of how high school students interact in today's world, and the diversity of Warren was glorified.
Overall I loved the experience, and am extremely eager to go next week.
Till next time!
Mr. Stanger
