Substitute Teacher

This week in my practicum classroom, the students had a susbstitute teacher. It was great to see a different style of teaching with the same group of students. The substitute was very hands on and the children seemed to really like her, and enjoyed all of the fun activities she did with the class. She was very engaging and the students were eager to learn and really listened to and respected her. One thing I really liked was how she incorporated "brain breaks" throughout the day. First graders are little, and they like to be active and move around. She had the students do different activities throughout the day such as "Simon Says". I thought this was a great idea and the kids loved it! She also brought cupcakes in for the class because it was her birthday. I thought she was a great sub and really enjoyed learning from her!
