I was able to use my creativity to design engaging and inclusive activities that allowed all students to learn and actively participate. Over the course of my eight-week placement, I developed and taught a variety of units, including Winter Olympics, Basketball, Floor Hockey, Drums Alive, and Fitness. I also gained experience working across different grade levels, as I was placed at both Gillette Road Middle School and Smith Road Elementary School. I was able to meet and learn from many different professionals and build connections that I will have throughout my future teaching career.

Here is an example of the lesson slides I used during my first placement. Each slideshow included a clear schedule, lesson goals, warm-up activities, instructional content, and assessments, all designed to be interactive and engaging for students.
