I had a really amazing week last week. I taught a lesson on ellis-island and had the students respond to writing prompts in a powerpoint I put together. They were SO into it. It was such an amazing experience. They were all interested and when I collected their responses, I could see that they put thought into their ideas and they werestill  asking about Ellis and Angel Island for the rest of the week. I am getting along really well with my collaborating teacher and the other 5th grade teachers are really helpful and amazing too. Today was a bit overwhelming with our first day of classes because it made me realize how much work I truly do have cut out for me. But I think most of all, I am excited for our amazing cohort because I feel so much closer to all of you! I have that team spirit going on right now…we can do it guys! We rock!
