After such an enjoyable spring break with my friends and family, it was very difficult to get back in the swing of things, go back to class, wake up early and even prepare to take the GACE. Even though summer is right around the corner, I still have so much work to complete before the end of the semester.
It was a great feeling to take the GACE this past Saturday and hopefully pass and never have to take it again. I had prepared and stressed over this test for the past couple months, however, it was an amazing feeling to realize how much I have learned through this program so far and will continue to learn in the months to follow. I was more prepared to take the test than I thought. Many of our professors have done a wonderful job steering us in the right direction and I am thankful. Now I probably will continue to stress about passing the next the next couple weeks. Why must they do that to us?
Today, during science, we taught science centers to second graders at J.J. Harris about push and pull. I had a great time working with the students and they seemed to be engaged in our lesson. We used weight and surface to compare combinations that are easier to push and pull. Both my first group and second group consisted of all boys. The first group was a little wild and had a few behavior issues, but overall I think the lessons went well and they understood the material we were giving them.
The push and pull unit sounds interesting - I bet the kids enjoyed it. Science is so often neglected, but so many kids love learning about how the world works.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you feel like you were well prepared for the GACE. I am sure you'll be hearing good news soon!
