On December 15th, 2014 my Education and Training went on a field trip to th Forth Worth Museum of Science and History. This experience was majestic. There where three activities that stood out to me. One of these activities where:

1. Tablecloth Chaos- Where we got to rip atablecloth off of a table full of dishes. This tested Newton's first Law of Physics . I learned some serious paitence skills

2. Phone book Swing- Here we saw a swing that can hold up to 1,000 pounds only with two phone books!

3. Lastly, Changing Like A Superhero- Being a superhero is alot harder than you may think. We got the opportunity to change into our "superhero gear" in at least a minute. It definately takes coordination which, being one handed as I am, is extremely challenging at the moment.

This Field Trip was one of the most fun trips i've ever been on. I will defy Quick Change!

In reference to Ms.Kallas' review on the blog titled How To Thrive During Teaching or http://www.futureeducators.org/goteach/2014/08/13/how-to-thrive-during-your-field-experiences/. I personally believe that the easiest thing for me will be to remind my self is that the students are the reason you are there. Getting to know your students is one of the most important thing you can focus on in your classroom. However, one challenge for me might be 'ask why'. The reason being I sometimes forget that everyone doesn't understand things like i understand them. However one thing that will be fairly easy for me will be, 'Get off your seats and on your feet" because me ,being a kinistehic learner, want ot keep my students awake and 'alive' so i will do whatever it takes to keep them moving but learning at the same time of course! When at my feild site for the first time I am extremely nervous to experience the feeling of teaching my first lesson . The fact that i wil one day be teaching a classroom of my own overwhelms me with excitement. Think about. How many people do you know that can confidently say i am 100% not at all nervous to have my very own classroom? Exactly. In conclusion, I am sure that the upcoming year will bring many challenges and successes but its whta we do with those successes that make us who we are.
