Lesson Week 8

This week I learned about children and their needs. After having a group discussion, I realized that teachers really are key to the growth and success of the child. I think that teachers make all the difference in the classroom. I enjoyed reading those case studies of the different teachers and seeing how they acted towards children. I was the science teacher that was teaching the older sixth graders but got bumped down to the second graders. I still held a super high expectation in my class even though they are a younger grade. I think that teachers that have these mind sets, might have good intentions but will ultimately harm the children in their ways of growing because they don't allow room for error. No one is perfect and everyone can make mistakes. I think this week was really helpful in putting myself into perspective, I realized that I need to be the best teacher I can be for the children I teach!
