Native Americans


This week I observed my colleges first lesson plan on Native American tribes and their cultures. For starters, I think they did a great job for being the first group that got thrown into a pact of wolves. They handled the smart board breaking down well, and overall did a fantastic job. I hope that when I go up with my group in two weeks, we are as confident like they were. Unlike the rest of my group members, last semester I had to teach a lesson in front of a 1st grade classroom and hope I nail it again this semester.

Anxious


FIRST DAY OF FIELD WORK!

I guess you could say this week flew by! I had my first day of field work for social studies this week and well it was a bit overwhelming. For starters, I wasn't nervous about the class and the types of students I would have in my classroom but the fact that I wasn't prepared enough to start so fast. I knew 95% of the second grade students before coming in, because I use to work as one of the extension teacher. I have seen these group of kids grow the past few years since they started Kindergarten. It was an honor to be able to come back and see them again. I hope that next week, I am not overwhelmed and nervous about teaching. I hope to make an impact on these second grade students.
