Week... I have lost count already!

Preparing for student teaching you think it will take forever but as of Friday I hit the one third of the way trough mark can you believe it? This week we spent a lot of time preparing for the blood drive and gearing up for National FFA Week.

I must say my intro to Ag class is pretty spectacular. They worked very hard getting everything ready for the blood drive which consisted of advertising, signing people up, being receptionists, setting up and tearing down, and arrive super early the morning of to cook breakfast for those donating. #proud

This week I was able to see the officer team come together and get everything done for FFA week. We bought pens for the teachers and made super cute tags, planning an ice cream social for the teachers, themed days for the students, hoss's night with state officers, and more.

As for teaching this week I had some up's and down's. I tried a new idea for a lesson and I had to change a few things up to make it relate to the class I was teaching but still had some confusion on the faces of the students. I used making a pb&j lab to teach calculating a bill of materials. One thing I learned from this  lesson was dealing with food allergies. We checked if my class had any food allergies and there were none but we never thought about the class that comes in next and the roomed smelled like peanut butter and there was a student with a peanut allergy. So we scrubbed every table down and ventilated the room the best we could.

As for next week in my intro to Ag class we will be finishing up our unit on speech/presentation and team building. I am excited to do the team building lesson and I hope they like it as much as I do. For mechanics we will be starting to layout their woodworking projects and let the building process begin. If the weather works with us and we stay to the schedule I will be picking up the AgriEcology class.
