On Sunday, I spent the entire day writing lesson plans for the week, writing reflections for my teachers, and working on writing my paper for the Phase 4 portfolio. Needless to say, I spent the entire day trying to catch up on assignments. After I spent the day working on homework, Erika, Amanda, and I went to the grocery story and decided that we were going to make hash browns for dinner. The dinner was good but I would have to say my experience eating elk was a much better meal this weekend.
Today was my first day planning and teaching the United States geography. I think it went pretty hard. At first I thought it was hard trying to explain and talk about the United States. Luckily, Katarina was sitting in the back of the room observing and translating what I was instructing for some of the students. I did a lesson on the U.S. geography and the fifty states. Katarina thought that learning about the U.S. geography is an important aspect for these students because they do not learn much about North America. Just like we learn about the United States, they learn about Europe and Sweden. I think that my favorite part of the lesson was when the students were excited to learn more about the fifty states. The next part of the lesson will be taught on Thursday. The students will create a poster board where they will draw one of the states and they will have to identify facts about the state. They are excited to learn more and I am excited to see how the projects turn out!
Well, I know it is a sort blog tonight, but I still have a lot to do with lesson planning, reflections, and papers for my portfolio. Hopefully, I will be able to relax one of these nights and be able to write a little bit more in my blog!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful time at home and enjoying the short week, unlike me, I will be teaching all week. They do not celebrate Thanksgiving but the girls and I are hoping to make a Thanksgiving meal on Thursday!
