As I reflect on our first practicum experience, I am in a completely different head space. By now, we have learned more in depth about assessment, lesson planning, and unit planning across subjects such as Socials Studies, Mathematics, and Science. Looking back at my first practicum experience, I am generally happy with how I prepared myself and executed my lessons. Both my teacher mentor and my faculty mentor were very impressed with how I carried myself and my ability to manage the students. What I strive to be better at is being more creative with my lessons and the way in which I present them. It is always nice to have a teacher that mixes it up and is not so redundant. I also want to work on making connections and building relationships with the students. Considering we will be there for a longer period of time, as well as throughout consecutive days, relationships have potential to be acquired more easily.
