Group Teach 2

This was my week to teach with my group and I was really nervous. We really didn't have a good book to teach out of and I felt like I was going in blind. Not that my group was not helpful, they were, it was just that I didn't really know what to do with this book. It was full of lesson plans and things that might help you have students write about their community, but it there was really nothing we could find to pertain to this class. We finally just chose a lesson and went with it.

I definatly thought we could have done better on day 1. It just seemed like it was rocky the entire way through until we got to the discussion. Day 2 was awesome I thought. It was great to break out of the normal routine and do something that was fun. It was also really educational for me because I have always known that there were differences facing kids as they came into classrooms, but this activity helped me to understand why they felt the way they do. To finally get to see how frustrated people get and how the feeling of hopelessness comes about, it made me gain a much deeper respect for the differences that I will face walking into a new classroom every year.
