Yesterday I went to West Hancock Elementary school. I am in a second grade class.  There are 25 students in my class. The teacher is Mrs. Shaw.  The students were kind of rowdy being that there was a new person in the room.  In order to keep them quiet she would say "give me five" the students would hold up five fingers and get quiet.  She used visual aids to help them understand and learn.  They also used technology.  They were reading a book and answering questions out loud.  They were all very eager to answer. She draws a popsicle stick out of a cup to see who will answer. We also studied the vocab on an InterWrite pad.  The children would say the word that went with the definition.  Right before lunch they went around the room saying their names and something about themselves.  Mrs. Shaw lets them go get their stuff out of their cubby's.  She lines them up in order of what color shirt they wear. She choses a new color to go first every day.  I can not wait to go back and help out again!!!!
