Oh the Places I Will Go...

I never could have imagined the wealth of knowledge that I have received during this course. I have changed from a college student that hasn't ever really been all that fond of Language Arts to a teacher that absolutely loves Language Arts and is well equipped to pass the love on to my students. I have learned the methodology of teaching so many different aspects of Language Arts. I did not have a clue on where to begin to teach a child how to read or write compared to how I feel now. I enjoyed the different teaching strategies that Dr. Duncan used and plan on using alot of the same ones as I begin to teach. One of my favorite exercises was "Chalk Talk." I can't wait to try this with Kindergartners and see all that they can create. I am honestly sad to see this class end. It has been the bright part of my long Wednesdays. I wish all classes prepared me for teaching as much as this course and allowed me to explore and fully engage in the content. I can only imagine where all of the knowledge I have acquired this semester will take me. Oh the places I may go!!!
