Lesson Planning 101

The Texas Education Agency sets the standards for the required curriculum of the state. My intern class is in 5th grade so this is their Texas Essential Knowledge and Skill, so here are their requirements.

Activities that I would like to preform with my class are:

A. Discuss the conflicts between Great Britain and The Colonies, which resulted in the start of the American Revolution and the birth of the United States of America. 


B. Discuss who the Founding Fathers and other Patriots of the United States of America, and why they are important to us and our history.

C. Discuss about the United States' Governments, why the Articles of Confederation were replaced by the United States Constitution, how the founding father's persuaded the States to pass the Constitution, and the basic freedoms given to us by it's Bill of Rights.

My First Week As A Teacher...

My site school is Holiday Heights Elementary!

My site school teacher is Jim Briggs .

I am interning in a 5th grade history class.

The first day (Tuesday) when I walked in to the classroom I was really nervous, but after I started introducing myself I quickly became calm and wasn't nervous anymore.

What I am looking forward to this year is experience in being a teacher.
