My micro-teaching on Friday went really well. I was nervous at first but once i got going, it was so hard to be nervous as my students in Grade One are such great kids who love to learn. I did a lesson on number sense and numeration where we (as a large group) did a "pocket computation" and developed strategies to help us discover how many pockets total where in our whole group! The children seemed to really enjoy this lesson and it taught them that they can not only count by ones, but tens as well when calculating a larger number. Overall, it went really well and i learned about some ways to improve my teaching abilities. However, i also learned about the skills i have that will one day make me an effective teacher that i hope children will admire.
