I decided to include some of my post from week four because this was one of my favourite experiences from the field:

This week was probably one of the best weeks so far. My partner and I got the opportunity to teach an art lesson to the class on our own. We decided to have the kids do a zentangle project. It was such a good learning experience and the kids really seemed to enjoy it. They all had a lot of fun deciding what to draw.

I really felt like my relationships with the students became a lot stronger after this week. We got a lot more opportunities to talk to the students and get to know them than we have in the previous weeks since they were always busy with their work. My partner and I even had a student come up to us after the class was over and tell us that she thought we were really nice people and that she thought we would become really great teachers. It was so sweet and it was really motivating to hear that from a student.
