This week all of the Elementary MAT students got together for a pot-luck Thanksgiving dinner! It was so much fun. I cooked the turkey (first one I've ever cooked) and it was certainly an adventure. I had to dedicate pretty much my entire day to it, but I'm proud to say that it turned out edible - maybe even yummy!!!! It was nice to have a social gathering before we all go home this coming Tuesday for a little vacation.
All of our classes are wrapping up right now and we have a bunch of projects/papers due this coming week. Our Social Studies unit that will be part of our final portfolio is due tomorrow which includes 5 lessons, a content outline, and an annotated bibliography. We also have a research paper for Social Studies coming up after the holiday. My topic is the integration of Math and Social Studies and I have learned a lot of interesting ways to integrate the two subjects. We also have a Science Research Project due as well as a Literature Circle assignment for our Language Arts class. We have been reading books in groups (much the same way our students will) and each person has a job to do while they read the book. My job was to find vocabulary words that might be difficult and define them for the group.
It has been a busy semester but I have really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to Student Teaching starting after Christmas!
