Blog Post 10 - Round 1: Setting the Bar High

It is so motivating to be in a class with so many bright and innovative future educators. I loved seeing all the creative ways that everyone this week shared for administering their lessons. Even though the grade levels and subjects varied, they all had one thing in common - the drive to engage their students in fun and valuable lessons. 

I loved Rebecca's read aloud lesson, being able to retell a story as you heard it is a great way to start learning how to interpret what you are reading. I seriously wanted some Oreo's as Rylee explained the different moon phases in her lesson plan; such a fun a delicious lesson! Debbie, I especially liked her innovative way of implementing a goofy video of Weird Al to help get her students get excited about the lesson; what a great way to get their attention. Tiff's personal finance class should be a requirement for all students, that is just very important information that I wish I would have learned early on in life. Kris, history can be a class that can either be very interesting or kind of boring depending on the teacher and I think he'd be a teacher that gets his students excited about learning all about history. Last but definitely not least, Samantha and her Pythagorean Theorem; I didn't even know what that was before Tuesday night, so needless to say she had me engaged and taught me something new. Everyone did such an amazing job and truly set the bar high for the rest of us.
