Monday was the final day that my partner Melissa and I taught the 5th grade class. We did a direct instruction lesson where the children were given created assignments to create with their groups. It was really awesome to see the children enjoying the experience of working in groups and each group made their specific project their own. I really enjoy seeing children enjoy learning which is why I know that I have picked the right career for me. Teaching these 3 lessons was so much fun! I really enjoyed every minute of it and although it was stressful, I'd love to do it again. I can't even imagine what it will be like in the future where I get to do this everyday. It felt amazing to be up in front of the classroom and to see the students learning the information that we were teaching. I know that a lot of mistakes were made during our 3 lessons but that's all part of the process. You must make mistakes in order to learned. I learned so much from watching the other groups and then from the feedback of my professor as well as my fellow classmates. One of my classmates told me that I had a "teacher personality" which was a great compliment. I can't wait until I can be up in front of the classroom again, I am so happy I had this experience.
