What Now?

Now that this class is coming to an end, I can think of many exciting changes that will be coming to my classroom as a result of taking part in this class.  I have never taught content in "units". Rather, content was taught in isolation.  Teaching in units allows for more cross-curricular activities to take place and allows the students to gain a deeper depth of knowledge.  I have already compiled a few fabulous instructional units   that I will be using with my class.

Previously, I have completed one service learning project with my class.  However, I feel my next service learning project will be of more value to my students due to my experiences in this class.  I feel more prepared to engage my students in service learning and understand the different components of service learning.  I am super excited to introduce Reduce, Reuse, Recycyle! to my class and plan to encourage other grades to participate in service learning.

Overall, this was a great class and a positive learning experience.  I will use the resources from the wiki page, as well as the insttructional plans and service learning projects to enhance my own classroom. I
