This is the 6th week of classes and I can't believe that it is going so quickly. The semester will soon be half over and my senior year is just flying by.
This past weekend I spent a lot of time working on some homework, but it was a good thing because Sunday I went rafting with DJ, Ashley, Scott, and Jared. DJ recently bought a raft so we took it down the gorge section of the Lehigh. It was a lot of fun. At the end of the trip we purposefully flipped the raft... sometimes it is fun to swim.
Monday I taught my social studies micro teaching. I taught the History of Jamestown by providing the students with an archaeological dig to find artifacts that were left by the people of Jamestown. It was a lesson based on discovery learning, which I feel strongly about using in the classroom. In my opinion students learn better when they are able to personalize their education experience. I had never realized how much I actually enjoy social studies. I am looking foward to working with my co-op teacher because she is more of a social studies teacher.
Well... I am going to go now and do some homework because I am going to go camping tomorrow to Sunday. I am excited to get out into nature because it has been a while since I have been in the real environment.
