The Student and Me

Today I met the student I will be working with at CCMS. He is a first grader who loves to play the cello. He is very fluent in spanish so I know that our voice thread is going to be great.

The experience I had with my student was wonderful. He is intelligent and very interested in seeing this project. He was fimilar with using the computer, so things got done pretty quickly. Although I used his P.E time for this. :( I could see how this project if I was doing it with 15-20 1st graders would be time consuming, especially if they had no experience with the technology. Although these days it's hard to find a child who has never sat in front of a computer.

He said that his mom used the computer alot, so he knows how to do it. I let him create his own userid and password. We opened a google account, which he said was neat. We also opened a blogger account which he titled; Letter Sounds in Spanish . He made his first entry before I left that day. I told him Crystal would be coming to film him. He said that was going to be okay she could come. I know he was love see himself on the Voice thread..Can't wait.

I had a great experience because he was eager to learn, but at the same time eager to finish and go play outside. I totally understand, what first grader likes to miss P.E.
