First Week Back From Spring Break

Observations
During my lesson I realized how hard it is to get everyone in the class on the same page when teaching a lesson. I also realized that sometimes you have to keep the class moving to keep some of the other kids on track. I was also very nervous and have a new respect for teachers now.

Learning Experiences
Teaching my lesson this week was definitely a learning experience! I had to prepare over spring break with getting my materials together and determining the questions I would use. I also had to talk with my teacher to plan out a lesson that would incorporate the skills the students had learned along with real world applications.

Reflections
I wish I could have done some things differently with my lesson like maybe having an informal assessment at the end for each student to turn it. It  would have been a good way judge to how successful my lesson was. Also it would have been good to incorporate in my portfolio. My students seemed to be very engaged in my lesson maybe due to the fact that I was closer to their ages than most teachers.

Stories to Share
This week my kids ran up to me Monday at lunch to give me hugs and tell me how much they missed me. It made my heart melt that they missed me that much!
