TE 401

This past week I had the opportunity to work in a 6th grade classroom for most of the day. This is where I will be observing for the remainder of the semester for my TE 401 class. The first day I was able  to observe the students working on a government project. They were creating "branches of government trees." The subject is still fairly new to the students, so it was interesting to see how their knowledge of the subject grew during that class period. It is my task to specifically observe social studies and science lessons. After several weeks, I am to teach my own lesson in the classroom. I have never had the opportunity to do that before. As usual when trying something new, I am a little nervous. I trust that I will end up learning a lot from the experience however.
