======Reflecting About Elementary Teaching Experience======

Last class period we went to visit a 4th grade class to teach about light refelectivity. Each studnet had designed a worksheet and short lesson plan for a group of 4-6 students. Overall we had a great time with these students. Some common things that we (as a class) observed were:
  * the 4th graders knew more that anticipated
  * it's better to not lead the students through the activity but allow them to lead their own learning
  * don't directly anser the students questions but explore the question as a group
  * allow each student to say what they think and the knowledge they know, don't let the shy one be left behind
