We finally got to teach

Today Maggie and I taught our first lessons. It was really neat because we team taught. We were asked to team teach because of all of the snow days. What we really did was take turns teaching a lesson. I taught the first lesson while Maggie helped out and then we switched. Our teacher has asked us to laminate our final project for her to keep because she liked it so well. She told us how well we did and gave us some pointers. Our lesson was on the presidents and we did a word web to collect information, both at the beginning of the lesson and at the end of it. The class gave us a lot of new information that they learned but when we asked them to write it down they all selected the same thing. Our CT said it was just because they are kindergarteners and not to worry about it. So if you ask ourclass what they learned about George Washington they will tell you "he died" and about Abe Lincoln, he was the "16th". Our class is so cute.

That’s is awesome you and Maggie finally got the chance to teach. Not only did you get to teach but you had the chance to team teach! That's so funny what your class chose to learn about the two famous presidents that you had taught. Hey you have to start somewhere, your building their prior knowledge : )
