Hey errrrebody :]
So yesterday was a BLAST! I love being a kid and I had so much fun doing that with each and everyone of you! Especially when I dominated in NASCAR racing ;) I believe we should have more Hixson family bonding time ASAP! I thought the scavenger hunt was a great idea and it was good to work in our small groups. I loved mine! and thank goodness people knew where stuff in Ames was because I was lost basically the entire time lol
The time is coming near when finals is going to be approaching and I know all of us are getting super busy and cracking down on the last things that we need to accomplish in the next month or so. One of those things is our E-Portfolio, and I know its something that is going to take a big chunk of my time to do well. Matt and I had a meeting with Heath and Allie yesterday to go over our lesson plan for this coming week and my frustrations with lesson planning kind of came out. Hopefully everyone will agree with me when I say lesson planning is hard work! Its probably my biggest stresser for this class. It's hard to plan some type of learning activity that will be helpful to a group of people, and be entertaining and keep it flowing in a constructive manner the whole time. It's kind of exhausting. I thought the class Heath and Allie led on Wednesday was so helpful for that. I took an obscene amount of notes on the green sheet they gave us and I know that will be very helpful to me in the future when I have to construct a full semester worth of these things.
Hope everyone had a great rest of the weekend! Spring has sprung :]
I agree that the lesson plans do take a lot of time and thought but they will be extremely helpful in the fall. I also liked how they let us know what they were looking for on the lesson plans last week in class.
ReplyDeleteHey, remember how I beat your butt in bowling? I agree 103.8913% with you, lesson planning is very hard to do, specially for an engineering major :S haha. I had a blast during the retreat as well! Hixson bonding would be okay with me for sure!
ReplyDeleteSee you Wednesday!
I agree! I think last weeks class was very helpful and we will understand that more, the more we work on getting our plans together. I enjoyed saturday as well. Its always fun to bowl and play games because usually we do not get to do fun and relaxing things like this.
