Reflection

To prepare for our lesson plan, Yohanna and I went step by step, acting out our lesson plan. We also made a list of exactly what we needed so we dont forget anything. We also got to class early so we can set everything up. Our lesson plan went exactly how it was planned, other then the behavior. We didn't expect the behavior to be as bad as it was. There were students taking their shoes off, walking out the classroom and even hitting each other. Most important thing we tried to teach our students was writing sentences and learning about the different animals. In my opinion, I feel it went very well. We had extra worksheets so when a student finishes before the other student they can work on the worksheet. We completely forgot about the worksheets, and they would of helped keep the students busy until everyone finished. We worked hard on our lesson plan and i think we did a good job!
