The time is shortly approaching...

the first day that my peers and I will teach a full fifth grade classroom! Although I wish I was able to work with the group that I was set up with in the beginning of the semester, circumstances unfortunately pushed this opportunity back. Although that was unfortunate, I am happy to say that I am extremely excited to teach on Thursday! 

On Thursday we teach our Direct Instruction Lesson Plan on New Spain! With enlightening key terms and wonderful Spanish conquistador explorers to explain, I am beyond excited to get started! My group and I have been working vigorously to make this the best lesson plan and potentially the best teaching group this class has had! We have prepared hands on activities that are active, engaging, meaningful, and challenging to enable our students to excel in the classroom. 

My favorite part of the preparing period for this first lesson plan has been coming up with creative ways to get the students engaged and excited about the meaningful content with which we are going to present! I think that both the students, the professor, and the teacher candidates will love what we have put together! Cheers to a beautiful journey for the next three class periods!
