Teaching Fun!

Well, where do I begin? It's been hard getting back into the swing of classes since our two week break for field experience and spring break. I really love being in second grade. Most weeks those are the days I look forward to the most. At this point in my college career I am ready to be done and move on. I'm ready to be in the classroom teaching. I was so proud of myself last week on Friday because I came up with a lesson on short notice (during specials) and the kids loved it and had a lot of fun. I taught them about the life cycle of plants and let me draw (and color!!) their own plant life cycle. This week each student is going to put a lima bean in a sandwich baggie to watch it sprout at school. I'm also going to let me plant some flower seeds to take home and watch grow. The students are going to make biodegradable planter pots with newspaper with a nifty pot maker my science teacher is letting me borrow. Needless to say, I'm ready to be finished with school and start teaching.
