I had to take some personal time off from my student teaching. I lost my little brother unexpectedly in a vehicle accident. This tragedy hopefully will serve as a life lesson for all my brothers classmates and my students. Slow down. Buckle up. Put the phone down.
However, I have now returned! I have fought to get to this point in my life and my brother would not want me to quit now.
So.... what happened during Week 11?
With Mr. Honeycutt gone with some students to SLLC. The substitute and I worked with classes either completing work around the shop or watching the movie "Farmland". I had heard many things about this movie, but had never had the opportunity to watch it myself. After watching it (about 5 times) I saw the truly amazing value of the movie! It offers so much personal insight into the lives of various types of farmers! Definitely will personally use in my future classroom and I highly recommend it to others.
The highlight of my week was the lab I completed with my freshman classes. We learned all about milk defects. I made various jars of contaminated milk. Then we played some Russian Roulette to find the good jar of milk. The kids really seemed to enjoy it!
