Hours this week- 5 (3 at Tuesday Church, 2 Preparation)
My Lesson
This week I taught my lesson. Seeing the kids excitement when they saw that I was the teacher for the day was INCREDIBLY encouraging, and certainly gave me enough courage to be confident as I taught. My lesson this week was out of the book of Jonah. I taught about how sometimes God wants us to do something, and it's scary. I would like to have included some clips from the Veggie Tales Movie, but I couldn't get any. Overall, the lesson went well. I was really into it, and had a difficult time gauging the classes reaction like I do when I'm just an observer/helper. I did however notice that Ms. Jessica had to separate Corey and Michael from each other, and then she had to separate Corey from Alaysia... but this is just typical "Corey" behavior.
Supervisor Evaluation
Ms. Jessica told me that I did wonderfully. When I asked her for some constructive criticism, she mentioned that some of the words I said were a little too advanced for that age group. Overall, she said I should probably dumb the lesson down a little bit to meet their needs a little better. One example is that when I mentioned being from Florida, I failed to realize that some kids don't even know where Florida is.
Questions
1) Would the use of the Veggie Tales Movie helped my lesson or deterred from it?
2) Did the kids see me as a substitute teacher, or a legitimate teacher?
