My teacher is so structured, I don't think she'd go for letting me teach. She lets me help out, but her body language often hints that she thinks I'm imposing. My sister is two years younger than me, and when she started reading the Dragon Slayer's Acadamy, I would always read throught the books she brought home, even though they were way too easy for me. I loved the pig who speaks pig latin, and to this day, I can still speak pig latin fluently too! Maybe it isn't something to be proud of, though... For other future teachers, these books are hilarous, and will hold your student's attention. Also, I just learned this year that the main character, Wiglaf, is named after a character in Beowulf; he was the only one of Beowulf's thanes that didn't run away when they faced the dragon!

It was so exciting to read about your first teaching experience! I took EPS 100 last year, and our experience wasn't near that exciting. It is great that you got to get out there and experience being a real teacher, AND lesson planning. Putting an artistic spin on the lesson is both a step for you in the arts, and a step for you as a future teacher. Can't get much better than that! The kids, I'm sure, love you guys. (You should dress up in your strawberry and tomatoe costumes haha!) Hey Brianne! It was so exciting to read about your first teaching experience!

I'm glad eveything went so well. Most students do not get to teach a lesson in their first experience within a classroom. I know I didn't, and wish I had an oppertunity to help out more in the class. I'm just glad to hear that it ended up being a fabulous experience. What an oppertunity! I’m glad eveything went so well.

I can still remember mine and how nervous I was. That project is such a great idea, I may have to use that in the future. I’m glad your first experience went well!

It's great that you already got to teach your own lesson. This must have given you a good idea of what it is like to be in a teachers shoes. Wow Brianne that sounds like a fun experience!

I think this activity works for both visual art and literature. I actually took eps 100 a year ago and I was placed in a new classroom every week. I had the opportunity to experience kindergarten to grade 8; however, I really enjoyed the grade 2 classroom out of all the classes I observed. It seemed to be the most positive classroom. I mostly observed each classroom instead of teaching lesson plans, but I think I would have enjoyed teaching a lesson. Jessica Fulcher. I really like the activity you created.

What I was saying is that I actually am at the same school as you and Kyle but I'm working with a Pre-K class, so they're obviously at a different level than your kids are, and I haven't had the opportunity to teach them a lesson, and I can totally understand why you might have been nervous! I would have been totally nervous too, but it's great that it turned out to be so rewarding for you! oops, I think that I just left half of a comment ,so here is the other half.
