‭-‬‭This assignment showed me how to help students with their feelings and social skills. I‬
‭learned a lot from reading and writing about different ways to teach these things and‬
‭seeing examples of what works. It gave me ideas for activities and ways to help‬
‭students who learn in different ways. This assignment taught me how to help my future‬
‭students with their feelings and social skills.‬

‭creating a welcoming classroom where everyone feels included. It showed me I‬

‭have a responsibility to make sure my students feel good emotionally, not just‬

‭students' differences and problems. I learned as a future teacher I should focus‬
‭on helping each student individually. Learning about social and emotional skills‬
‭also made me realize that teaching is more than just giving information; it's about‬
‭preparing students for life.‬

‭What did you learn about the profession of teaching and learning?‬
‭How will this help you in the future?‬
‭How will completing this assignment help your students in the future?)‬

-‭ ‬‭Completing this assignment helped me understand teaching better. I learned that it's‬
‭not just about teaching facts. It's also about making sure students feel good emotionally‬
‭and learning life lessons. This will help me in the future to understand whats best for the‬
‭students. My journals about classroom management in EDU 210 and EDU 218 were‬
‭super helpful. They showed me how to create a classroom where students behave well‬
‭and are engaged in learning. In the future, I'll use what I learned to create a classroom‬
‭where everyone feels supported. I'll also use what I learned about managing the‬
‭classroom effectively to keep things in order. This assignment gave me the tools and‬
‭ideas to be prepared for my future as an teacher.‬
