Sped 100 |
Liberty
Center/ Sioux
Falls, SD |
For my SPED 100
field
experience, I
spent
12 hours at the
Liberty Center.
This center is a
private,
non-profit
organization
providing
out-of-school-time
services,
childcare
services and a
full-time summer
program to
children from 3
to 21 years of
age. This
organization
also allows all
children with
any needs or
disabilities.
During my time
at the Liberty
Center I came in
and helped with
the after school
program. Some
fun and
interesting
things we did
while I was
there was: touch
football, bead
necklaces, and
painting Easter
eggs.

ELED 440-Language Arts Methods |
Madison Elementary/ Madison, SD |
|
For K-8
Language Arts
Methods, I
worked with two
other peers to
develop lesson
plans for a 3rd
grade classroom
at the Madison
Elementary.
Between the
three of us
working together
we took turns
writing the
lesson plans and
revising them
before we
taught. Each of
us during the
lesson have a
certain duty to
make sure the
lesson would run
smoothly and
that we used our
time wisely.
During this
experience we
taught the class
about timelines
and the writing
process. We had
brought in a
bear on the
first day of
class to make a
timeline and
actually ended
up keeping him
there in the
classroom to
help students
with their
writing process.
The students had
a lot of
imagination with
the stories they
had written and
this was a fun
activity to
teach.

ELED 450-Reading Methods |
St. Thomas School/ Madison, SD |
|
I was in the
fifth grade
classroom at St.
Thomas for my
field experience
for Reading
Methods. During
this time I
integrated
reading with the
civil war
period. We did
many things in
the classroom
such as read
out-loud, group
reading, KWL
Charts, Readers
Theatre, and
making their own
story books
about the past,
present, and
future. I feel
this was a great
experience to
work with this
classroom.

ELED 453- Diagnosis Corrections Reading |
Madison Elementary/ Madison, SD |
For my Diagnosis and Correction of Reading class I worked with fourth graders at Madison Elementary. I administered the DIBELS and BADER testing. It was helpful to administer these tests to help the teacher understand what level the students are reading at. I also worked with a group of five fourth graders teaching them South Dakota history. Each week we read a chapter in a South Dakota history book and a form of assessment was given. I felt using a variety of assessment methods was very helpful in this group to keep them motivated in the topic at study.

Music 353- Music Methods |
Madison Elementary School/ Madison, SD |
My field experience for Music was very interesting and fun. I taught two music lessons that were about forty minutes a piece. In these lessons a integrated learning topics such as: knowing the difference between your left and right and what are shapes and different types of shapes. Not only did the students have a song to sing about these different items, we also had group discussion and activities to help each student understand the material better.

ELED 454-Guided Reading |
Medary Elementary School/ Brookings, SD |
|
|
During my field
experience for
Guided Reading,
I was in a
second grade
classroom. In a
matter of a few
months I had
learned a
variety of ways
to help students
with their
reading and
writing ability.
The teacher
especially made
time out of the
day to make sure
students would
get their daily
five routines
in. This gave
the teacher time
to work with
different level
reading groups
along with
students
learning how to
independently
work on their
own activities. |

ELED 320- K-8 Science Methods |
St. Thomas School/ Madison, SD |
|
|
For my Science
methods class I
was in a fourth
grade classroom
at St. Thomas.
This class was a
small class so
it was very easy
to do more hands
on projects for
I was able to
have more one on
one time with
the students.
During this
experience I
taught three
lessons on rocks
and minerals.
The students
seemed to enjoy
the projects and
it was nice to
have hands on
projects for
them to interact
with. |

Level III Field Experience |
Medary Elementary School/ Brookings, SD |
| During my level III experience I was in a second grade classroom in Brookings. I was in the classroom for two weeks for the whole day. I had a chance to teach many different lessons with the students and help with a variety of testing and other activities. This was a great experience to be able to be in the classroom all day and learn new techniques to be able to use in the future. |
