My final day of my internship was AWESOME!!! \u00a0I spent the entire day on Friday in the WPDC (Warehouse Product Development Center) Lab with many different people. \u00a0The lab is where they test whatever the engineers are currently working on. \u00a0On my last day they finally let me drive a forklift!!! \u00a0That was definitely the highlight of my experience… even though I was terrified the entire time. \u00a0I was also able to weld for the first time ever! \u00a0It’s definitely much harder than it looks, but I was told I didn’t do that bad for my first time trying it out!<\/p>\n
Now that I have completed my internship I am brainstorming the many different ways that I can bring my experiences back into my classroom curriculum. \u00a0I’ve now decided that instead of doing just a couple of lessons, I’m going to do an entire unit plan with lessons placed at various times throughout the school year! \u00a0By doing this I’m hoping that my students will constantly be able to make connections from math to future careers. \u00a0Originally I had planned on focusing on proportional relationships, but now I plan to also come up with lessons for inequalities, unit rate, scale drawings, and possibly even angles. \u00a0Throughout each lesson I will be bringing in experiences from my internship. \u00a0I will also keep a focus on word problems (along with the GC corhort).<\/p>\n
One thing I am SUPER excited about is the possibility of bringing my students back to the plant for a field trip. \u00a0If funding is available then I will take my students back to the plant for a tour of the facility. \u00a0They will also have the opportunity to sit through a Demand Flow Technology training that I designed with the Lego kits. \u00a0I’m hoping everything works out so that we are able to go! \u00a0\ud83d\ude42 I know my students would love it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
