1A. What did you learn about teaching from the school, in which you were placed?
Learning: I learned from teaching at Jim Allen Elementary School is all the teachers are willing to help each other. They work together as a team.

FEAP: 1A Aligns instructions with state adopted standards at the appropriate level of rigor
Event: In February and March I taught lessons in my first-grade classroom. Both lessons were planned and executed, according to the state standards.

The lesson I taught was about insects and the parts of insects and the other was about counting and categorizing shapes, animals, and objects.
Explanation: Preparing both of my lesson plans I found an appropriate level of state standards to base what Mrs. Fellgren asked me to teach. Each lesson was carefully planned out to make sure that they meet the standard. Lesson one was on insects and it was aligned with the standards SC.1.L.14.1 and LAFS.1.W.3.8. Lesson two was about shapes, graphs, and reading MAFS.1.MD.3.4 and LAFS.1.R2.1.

The next is developing a way to test the students understanding whether it be asking them simple questions at the end of a lecture or creating an assignment for them to do.
