Today 2 girls from the university came to teach a lesson on the senses. I was so impressed and it gave me a different outlook on teaching. It was so fun and interactive and the kids did so well with it. They divided the group into 3 and had them rotate through centers. Each group had hands on activities, not one did a worksheet or a coloring page. They ended each group with a talking session to see what the children had learned.
This semester I've been so busy with classes, homework, work, and still hanging out some with friends to keep me sane; that my teaching has suffered. I've kept telling myself that when I get out in the real world it will be different because I will only be teaching. But today it struck me that this is not entirely true. Even in the real world there are a million things to do! You have to keep up a house, kids, a husband, and your own personal upkeep as well. Not to mention all the work associated with masters classes on top of your classroom grading and what not. If I can't manage all this now, what makes me think I'll be able to do it then?
