Today was my last visit to my classroom and I found myself mixed with emotion. I was happy that my fieldwork hours were over because I am looking forward to being done with school and having summer vacation but I was also sad because I was leaving my three children. I have grown very close to the three children over the past couple of months and I found myself worrying about what was going to happen to them the rest of the school year and if they will do well in school in the years to come. I hope that my visits and the time that I have spend with them has made a small impact on them or difference in their lives because I know that working with them has made one in mine. The reading coach said that we were welcome to come back whenever we want and can continue to tutor next semester if we would like. Since I have only completed sixteen and a half hours, and need twenty five for student teaching, I am planning on going back. Also, I know that I need 30 hours of observation for SPED 300 which is a class that is mandatory to take and the elementary school would be a great place to complete them. I am very satisfied and happy with my service learning and the experience that I had completeing my hours. I feel very fortunate to have worked with such great children and tha I had the opportunity to have done this project.
