The first lesson was a success

The first day of my lesson was not as I expected. I believed that my first lesson was going to be harder and complicated but it ended up running smoothly. My mentor was very patient and helpful when it came to printing worksheets and assembling the packets. During my first lesson I taught the students the anatomy of the heart and they were very entertaining and surprised. I started out giving a brief overview of the heart and explained as simple as possible how the heart works. I arranged different activities for them to do including one that involved orbees to help simulate the different blood cells that can be found in the blood. The reaction the kids had was positive since many of the material I taught stuck to them and they remembered most of the things. They also really enjoyed the orbee section of the lesson and learned the different parts of blood. Overall this was a great experience to practice my communication skills as well as my skill to teach material I am familiar with.
