I started this class off without liking social studies at all. I have realized that it is not that bad. There are somethings I think I need to work on when it comes to this subject but those are just minor things. I know that I can not be bias toward the subject that I am teaching. I think it will have me go off subject and then the students won’t be learning what they need to know. I have also learned that I need to take risks with my students. I have to do things that I know will benefit them but wont necessarily meet the criteria of the planning team. I am excited to see how social studies looks in my classroom and how I become equipped with good risk taking skills.
