For my first day at Hillcrest Elementary I was put in Mr. Bogdins Life Skills class because of testing going on in the other classrooms. The topic I chose to write on was "How does knowledge of the way people learn related to the experience of being a teacher?"

While observing the teacher I would think to myself that he was doing something different with each student. He approached B with a more sensitive way when it came to his reading. But when it came to his other student J he was more animated and had to keep her attention.

I saw that he had to change his teaching style to accommodate each child. That is something that I will need to learn how to do. It's like what we learned in class about the 3 different learning types. You have to appeal to all of your students.
