This week's tech club was a little different because there were 5 of us there instead of just Kiona and me. The kids were in trouble and lost their recess privileges and we only ended up having 6 kindergarten girls and about 4 fourth-grade girls so we were over staffed on our end and the fourth-grade girls were helping the kindergartners figure things out so we really didn't have to do much instructionally. We also had less time because of the recess debacle so we had the kids talk about rhyming briefly, play games on "Suessville" and then we played some drawing and rhyming games. I think it was cool opportunity to see the kids helping one another this time, developing their own teaching skills.
Overall, it was a good experience for me to work with this age group of kids, I have heightened respect for elementary teachers and I'm certain I want to teach secondary. It was really challenging for me to have a conception of what the really young kids were capable of doing on computers and made making educational lesson plans even more challenging.
