Student Teaching Weekly Reflection 1

Megan Crossett submitted her fifth weekly log of her student teaching experience. This week, she took on more responsibilities in teaching literacy and began planning for additional subjects. She found her most satisfying experience was participating in a student's IEP meeting. Her most challenging experience was having to improvise a lesson when the smart board stopped working mid-lesson. Looking ahead, she has planned a review week of content using autumn themes and is excited to implement her first fully planned lessons.
