Article Review

I was never interested in gardening as a student, but as I prepared to become a teacher, my fascination grew. This article gives a good overview of the advantages of gardening for students.

Nice resource for lesson ideas

I opted to reading this in order to prepare for my field placement's energy lesson. It has a lot of interesting ideas for teaching energy, which I loved. It provided me with valuable insight into how to introduce energy to students. I enjoy how it incorporates hands-on activities; I am a huge believer in designing lessons that students can truly participate in, so this aligned well with my own teaching preferences.
