Response to Fieldnotes

The field notes i have taken so far have been more for another purpose other than this class. in the past two weeks in my EDSEC 150 class, i was asked to write a letter to the teacher who i held above all the others i had ever had. so i wrote to the teacher who inspired me to pursue my career, my 6th grade teacher Mrs. Dye. she was an amazing teacher who did so much for our class for the sake of us being able to learn and study things more in depth. no matter the added stress that it caused her, she always put us above herself and her problems. she was pregnant my 5th grade year but came back half way through the year simply so she could be with us and we wouldn't miss out on what she had to offer. i then had her again in 6th grade because of the program in my school system, long story. at any rate i felt that i gained valuable knowledge about the culture of teaching through talking to her. she said i couldn't even believe how much it meant to her that i sent this notice to her and that it couldn't have come at a better time. i felt good about what i had given her, and i felt that it made a great difference in her life.
