Lesson plan reflection

My partner Stephanie and I taught our lesson on April 9th. I feel as if our lesson went very well eventhough it was hard with the interruptions with the behavior cards. We was like the third group of people to teach and I guess the rest of the class became very comfortable and the behaviors showed it. Compared to the lesson plan we did a pretty good job in following it. We made a list of all the classroom rules and I believe that it helped because when the students misbehaved it was easier for us to say "What is rule number..." and have the student read out the rule so that they know exactly what they are doing wrong. I believe that method was productive in the beginning and then the class became to comfortable and started to misbehave. Julisa had the card that said she had to ask what sex was. That was hard to handle considering I was teaching a kindergarten class. I thought that it was difficult but I handled it in a very good way in my opinion. It was good that I didn't get to finish my lesson because it taught me that distractions and conversations can last longer than expected and that I should be prepared to change the lesson at various points of the day.

As we went through the other peoples lessons I thought it was interesting to see how they would handle certain problems and how their teaching method would be. Because of the behavior cards people got different behaviors to deal with and at the end of the lessons Dr. Luongo told us what we could've done to make the lesson go better or to handle the problems in a better way. I thought that was a good idea since we are still learning new methods and the things the professor said was productive. The overall experience was good and I loved the idea and experience.
