After being in school for two weeks. I have learned my students are dynamic individuals and will benefit greatly from the future lessons and demonstrations. I plan on working with my morning group of 31 students who are very eager to do absolutely everything. I have given them time to settle in and get use to 7th grade. Next week we will be using some time in the mornings to take the pre-survey and learn about my journey over the summer.
I plan on using the Onehealth initiative to teach my students how STEAM and our health are interconnected. My students have two teachers (another teacher on my team) who are sharing their NC State experience from this summer with them. We are going to expose our students to wearable devices and improving our health.
I am most excited about my mentor visiting my students and watching them create their LittleBits circuits. Once, my students finish our fall learning experience, I will try to visit a couple of the lessons created by my peers to have students venture into other domains and lessons.
