week 14

This week we didn't have class so instead of reflecting about what we talked about in class for the week I will talk about the love I have and the desire I have for teaching students.
I love teaching kids, to watch children have the ah-ha moments is the most precious thing in the world to me. I taught at a Lakeridge Jr. High for a year, I was in charge of one particular child with autism. It was a very difficult job for me, I learned that I need to have those ah-ha moments, I need to know that my teaching is getting through to my students. Although I worked really hard with a child with special needs, and it felt like all of my hard work sort of went to waist, I learned to love my student and stilled loved my job.
For the video this week I thought that the video was a great way for students to learn, I love school house rock. Even though the videos were made so long ago the lesson's are still true and the repetition is very good for students.
