 It's been a few weeks since we've blogged! Now that were back on track, and ready to start updating our blog again. We've all had a crazy few weeks, and here I am to explain it.
     
   
     The last few weeks we have had lots of projects and workdays. Our relevancy and methodology projects have been very overwhelming, but very helpful to our future careers. Both of these projects connect to the NC teacher standards. Monday, we had a workday so we could catch up on everything and just take a breather. Today, we did something phenomenal that we as future teachers should all use in our classrooms. We explored brainstorming and what a useful tool it is.  Using the chart and communicating to each other is an important tool to get feedback from teachers as well as peers.
    My idea of a future classroom has changed so drastically since the first of the semester. I have realized there is so much more than just creating a lesson plan and teaching it to students. We as teachers must cater to each individual student, make a lesson plan based off assessment, and the pace of students learning. My future classroom involves student interaction, giving feedback to students, and not testing as much as teachers are expected to.
     I'm so excited to see where the rest of the semester takes us. We have already learned so much in these eight weeks, and the next 8 I know will be just as great!

  1. These past few weeks have been hectic, but these projects will be very useful when we have our own classroom. I agree that how I pictured what being a teacher would involve has changed drastically since the beginning of this class. I have also thought about not testing as much and giving more feedback to my students than anything because of the brainstorming activity we did.
