Week 12

Week 12 was a very busy week for me as I was in Daytona beach, Florida competing at cheerleading nationals with the Gardner-Webb Cheer team. However, the wi-fi at the hotel was terrible and I could not complete any online work. I started on my traditional lesson plan and I am preparing for teaching my clinical lesson plan as well. I am very excited to see what the next few weeks of school left hold. We only have two more times at Washington for the semester which is sad but exciting at the same time because that means it is almost summer! For my traditional lesson plan, I have been really practicing my integration skills and I get super excited when I find a way to integrate another subject into my lesson plans. This connects to a part of standard 3, or teachers know the content they teach. Teachers recognize the interconnectedness of content areas/disciplines. I have been able to find a way to integrate social studies, arts, language arts, science, and math in some of my lessons and by doing that I have achieved the ability to recognize how all of the content areas connect. I will use integration in my future classroom with every lesson that I teach so that my students will be skilled in all areas and they too can recognize the interconnectedness of the content areas.
