Today was day one of three for teaching this 5th grade class. It was my first experience teaching a whole class. Today's lesson was a direct instruction lesson on Samuel De Champlain, Henry Hudson, The Pilgrims and the Puritans. I thought that the lesson went really well and that my partner and I did a great job. I was very proud of the both of us and I felt the children learned some new things. Speaking with Dr. Smirnova after our lesson was a little discouraging because I thought we did great, when in reality we made tons of mistakes. It's okay! We are learning and this is the best way to learn. Overall I loved it! It was so much fun being in front of a class and teaching them. I've always wanted to be a teacher and it is an amazing feeling when I teach young minds. Day two is on Friday. We will be teaching an inquiry lesson on the Pilgrims. I'm super excited to teach again!
