Today was a little different than most days.<\/p>\n
I taught a lesson, without very little preparation. I had a lesson plan, however I was not prepared. But no worries I took on the task.<\/p>\n
I was a little hesitant. I was teaching a language arts lesson which focused on nouns, proper nouns and common nouns. I needed to brush up on my skills. I needed to connect to my prior knowledge before getting up in front of the class. The lesson went okay. I could feel myself be nervous at the front but I tried my best so the students could not tell.<\/p>\n
There was one point in the lesson where what I was saying wrong. As a class were were locating all the proper nouns in the sentence. I did not classify “they” as a proper noun and one of the students questioned that. I took a minute to think and then corrected myself. I apologized to the class and moved forward. I was a little embarrassed, but the good thing was that my student was engaged in the lesson and felt comfortable enough to challenge what I was saying. We were learning as a class together so technically it was a good outcome.<\/p>\n
While I was directing the lesson the students had to work on a worksheet. On the worksheet it asked the students to identify specific holidays, which would be a proper noun. One of my students called me to the desk. She asked what she should write if I do not celebrate a holiday. I was a bit confused as they was not a concern which I had to address with this specific student. The student went on to clarify that there is a student in the class that does not celebrate any holiday. I thanked my student. I then addressed that concert with the student. I asked the student identify any time in his year that he looks forward to or an activity he looks forward to doing around the year.<\/p>\n
This was just \u00a0reminder that I need to be mindful of my classroom at all times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
