Weekly Reflection: 50 states and capitols (Cartoon Song) Video Reflection

This week we had fall break so we didn't have class. My group and I finished up our web quest and prepared it for our presentation. In my other classes we have been busy preparing lessons for our field work and learning about curriculum and how to teach it. This semester has become much harder than I had ever imagined. I feel stressed out every night and overwhelmed by the pile of homework that needs to be completed nightly. I also have learned so much as well, I love all of my classes and I am so glad to be in the program but I really wish we had more time to complete our tasks or less tasks to be completed. I suppose we can't do a whole lot about it all though. I just have to keep telling myself to keep truckin' along and that one day I'll be through it all and be in my own classroom teaching. That will be awesome!

This week for my video reflection I went to TeacherTube.com and looked for a fun educational video I would use in my class. I came across a video of the Animaniacs singing a song about the 50 states and their capitols and thought it was awesome. I would use this song and video in my class to help my 5th grade students learn the 50 states along with the capitols. I think the sing is catchy and easy to learn and the video is awesom because it shows the states, where they are located in American and where in each state the capitol is located. I was a great video that I think 5th grade students would really enjoy and learn from.
