We are into week 3 of the fall semester and I have to say, I am settling in but these two courses are A LOT of work. Teaching Language Arts and Literacy, and Elementary School Mathematics Methods are no joke. LOTS of work but I must say I have already learned so much. How many of us have ever said “I’m not good at math”, or “I don’t have the math gene”? These things help to perpetuate poor math skills. I’m learning that we all have the ability to be great at math we just need to (going back to growth mind set, shout out to Emily) change our mind set. Regarding Language Arts, I had no idea about phonemes, and rimes ( if you think I was trying to spell rhyme, you will understand when you take EDU 710) it’s all so interesting.
I also attended a TCAP workshop which was a bit intimidating but the end is clearly in sight and I’m sure I will be fine. So close……..
Stay tuned,,,,,
