On November 17, 2017, I taught my third science lesson at Maverick Elementary School. I was originally supposed to teach my lesson on Wednesday, November 15, but my mentor teacher, Mr. Alderson, told me that he was going to be absent on Wednesday. So I had to reschedule my lesson for Friday, November 17. I did my lesson near the end of the day, before my students were to go to music. However, my lesson ran a bit long, so I had to teach the last part of my lesson after my students’ music period. Mr. Alderson told me that when the students got back from Thanksgiving break that they were going to go over rock properties, so my lesson fit pretty well into their curriculum.

One of the things that really surprised me, however, was when Savanna wrote down the word “irregular.” One of the descriptive words that I put under the Elmo was the word “irregular.” I did this because I wanted to teach the class that not all objects have perfect shapes. I chose to keep Savanna’s work because of this reason. The second work sample is from a girl named Isabel. Isabel was at Savanna’s table and had the same two rocks. However, Isabel had a hard time looking at the words on the Elmo, so this is why I chose Isabel’s work sample.
What I Learned as a Teacher I learned that you never know what to expect when doing a lesson. I learned that disruptions can come up out of nowhere during a lesson and that you must try to keep your cool and keep the lesson going. I also learned that your lesson might get interrupted by the class schedule and that you might not have time to finish the lesson. I learned this the hard way, when my class had to go to music. However, this experience helped me grow as a teacher and helped me see that sometimes a lesson does not go the way that you have planned.
