Final Thoughts of my First Day Lesson

My lesson that was focused on the first day of class went well I feel.    In this lesson we were to introduce ourselves to the class, let the class introduce themselves, discuss the expectations, procedure and consequence of our classroom, and whatever else we could fit into 10 minutes.  I have listed below some of the things I think were successful and also some things I need to work on. 

Successes!  

• Greeted students at the door and introduced myself to them quickly. 
• Was able to get to know the students through example bell-work 
• Loved the idea of my time capsule and think that it would work great in an actual classroom!  
• Expectations, procedures and consequences were well organized and numbered.  

Opportunities for Improvement! 

• Was nervous
• Talked so fast, need to slow down majorly 
• Need to make my expectations, procedures, and consequences posters more colorful and different from each other. 
• Think I need to carry my lesson plan with me to help remind me of my prompts to ask students

Over all I think it was a successful but very informative experience and I am excited to see what next week's lab brings and how I am able to succeed or improve then.  I also am interested to play with other types of lesson plan formats this week and hope to find the one that fits me best!
