#8: Self Reflection

I made a lot of connections between my service learning and course material. I liked being able to see the concepts from the course material in the real world. It also helped me explain what I was seeing. Reflecting on experiences in the classroom has helped me notice things I wouldn't have if I didn't have to write about it. 
I saw improvements in understanding of what it means to be a teacher. I probably would've seen more improvements if I had spread my service learning out over the whole semester so that I had new experiences every week to write about. 

All in all, the service learning I did helped me see what it would be like to be a teacher. It helped me see what I'll want to use in my future classroom and what I don't want to do in my future classroom. It helped give the course material real-life context, and it engaged my mind more than the lessons and work online would've.
