3 Days made full of plumbing projects, egg evaluation, and even some wild boars!

 Week 11?! How can it be! This week was shorter than most as we all had 3 days together but I can assure you we made the most of it! Starting the week off, we focused on any missing assignments and wrapping up projects since the end of the marking period is today! We also reviewed from our days on Zoom making sure we were all on the same page before we went on spring break! Yesterday we shifted gears to resumes, pituitary glands, wild boars, fertile eggs, and Shark Tank projects to continue our hard work with the little time we have left together! It was super exciting to hear my students discuss various invasive species found throughout the state of Pennsylvania and how they might differ from other states. 

   We also shifted gears in FFA/SAE focusing on preparing ourselves for life after high school, creating resumes to help with the job hunt. It was awesome to see all my students list out all of their accomplishments and focus what qualities qualify them for the job they are interested in having someday. In Ag Mech 2, we have been focusing on our Shark Tank projects. I am super excited to see their pitches next week when we come back from spring break! 

    Though this week was short, I feel as though I have learned a lot, and I am continuing to grow as a teacher and learning each day how to be better! I am continuing to work on incorporating evaluations into my lessons as well as wrapping up each component of my lessons. I am excited to see my students make connections between the content discussed in class and their daily lives.  I can't believe my student teaching experience is nearing the end! Here's to the next 3 weeks!

    Hi Megan - Week 11 sounds like you really found your groove! I love that your FFA/SAE class is focusing on life after high school - you could probably even tie that into some CDE events like employment skills! what are some review activities or programs you like to use?

My First Day of School... Lab Edition!

  This week I had my first day of school, though it wasn't with my students at Athens Area High School, I did have the opportunity to share it with my cohort members. The excitement of a new year with new adventures awaiting still filled the room, the difference you ask? Well this year all eight of us girls were the teachers this time, making our first day experience a little different.  Every student remembers the excitement of reuniting with your friends after a long summer away, seeing who you have lunch or study hall with, and finally seeing your favorite teacher you have missed all summer. For teachers, your first day of school sets the tone for the rest of the school year. Not only are you sharing what content students will be learning throughout the year, but what expectations you have for them while in your classroom. For my student's I used the framework "The 3 R's in Miss. Royer's Room", this idea came from my elementary school principal Mrs. Zmyslo....

Adjusting Your Journey!

  With everything in life there are times where you need to make a change, this can be with your job, your major or for students enrolled in an agricultural sciences courses their SAE project. This week we completed our last teaching lab virtually, focusing on transforming a Lifeknowledge lesson from the Nationally Ag Ed curriculum into an online lesson.     It was a bittersweet lesson, as I believe the information and skills taught throughout the lesson are important for high school student's to obtain to ensure that their goals within their agricultural science course are met. It was also a perfect remember to all of us as we enter into our student teaching experience that change is ok and very much so a good thing especially when it comes to meeting our student teaching experience goals!      I used new technology throughout this lesson that I had never used before to facilitate, Slido. This program allowed me to incorporate interactive questions a...
