• Is it fine that the kindergarten class has some (5) first grade student since I am focusing on kindergarten?

Interpretive:

4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

You need to be patient when teaching kids that are in kindergarten because they are between the ages of 4 and 5 and they sometimes will not listen to you the first time or they might not understand the directions you give them so you will have to explain it to them more than once.

5. What is your senior project topic going to be?  How did what you did help you choose a topic?  Please explain.

My senior project is going to b teaching kindergarten. I chose this topic because I really enjoy being with little kids and I'm a patient person when it comes to dealing with small children so I thought this topic would be perfect for me.
