Week 11

Animal Care Sanctuary presentation

This past week is a bit blurry for me because so much was going on and I feel like I didn't even have time to breathe. The week started out normal and ended early because of Easter which is lucky for me because I need this long weekend to plan an awesome week for the students next week! Especially since I won't be around much at all next week due to a field trip, visit to Midd-West, and a trip to Penn State.

Like I said though, a lot of stuff happened this week! A few highlights included a visit by the Animal Care Sanctuary to talk to Animal Science Students about animal shelters, planting some new plants in Plant Science, and making butter in Animal Science II.

 I feel like I have improved with my planning of lesson plans. Planning ahead of time made it possible for some of the students to make butter and I got rolls so we could have some food to eat the butter with.

It was a great, short week that made me realize some of the things I need to improve on. My cooperating teacher ended up very ill this week and missed a day of school that was planned for her to take some students for parliamentary procedure and public speaking for the area. I realized that day that I do not work well under pressure and I struggle with recovering from that. I was stressed with her being sick and I felt like I just could not pick up my confidence in my teaching the rest of the week. I want to try and work on my

confidence and independence for the rest of the experience.


Special shout-out to Kelsey Henry for visiting Wellsboro this week.. and looking forward to visiting Janae Herr at Midd-West this week!
