Teaching Reflection 1: Icebreaker/Introduction

I learned a lot from Yazmin right from the beginning of my student teaching experience. I was planning on delving right into content. I must admit that I was quite excited and anxious about teaching the lessons so I was mainly focussed on the content. When I met with Yazmin to plan, she suggested that we do a simple icebreaker for the first lesson and create a fun environment where everyone can get to know each other. I enjoyed creating the fun ice breaker activity where I shared a little bit about me and I was able to learn about the students. I realized that my students are quite passionate and engaged. It was really great to have this introductory session to set the tone and to get to know the students and their personalities. I learned how important time management is as not all the students were able to share something about themselves. Going forward, I will keep this in mind when teaching a new class.
