Semester Ending

With the semester ending I was slammed with work. Im so glad to have finally made it!! Next semester I will be student teaching in the Marlboro School District. I am so excited to finally get the chance to be a teacher. The semester flew by and all I can think about is how much I learned this semester. I learned more about direct, Cooperative, and inquiry lessons. I also learned how to engage students in Social Studies. I also learned about the Jigsaw lesson and how to implement it into my class. I cannot wait to provide my students with engage activities that consist of hands on, partner work! Maybe I might even get to plan a field trip for the students to learn more about Social Studies. I also cannot wait to implement the Jigsaw model into my teaching because I think it is a great way to encourage group participation. If you don't participate in creating the lesson you won't be able to teach it to your peers.  As I embark on my next journey of teaching I can't thank Dr. Smirnova enough for teaching me how to engage and bring Social Studies to life!
