What:
It was very insightful to hear each partnership share some of their success stories and some of their disappointments with the entire class this week. It is finally sinking in that teaching does not always end up as you plan it. The more flexible you can be and the more you focus only on the most important aspects the better.
So What:
Writing specific lesson plans for our Cooperating teacher was not very easy because we needed to conform to her wishes and still incorporate social studies, and art into her writer's workshop time we were allotted. It turned out fine, but we couldn't do much movement activities since the teacher wanted the students to be writing.
Now What:
Now that I am more aware of how many various creative arts activities we can integrate into so many other subjects, I will be more likely to use it in my own classroom. I look forward to that time and seeing the success in teaching with the arts.
