Assignment
Reflection
I learned how to make an accordion book. I would like to have written directions for this project it may be easier than constantly repeating. Because I do not use markers so well, I may want stencils.
I also learned how to create my first lesson plan. This was very important to me having heard about them often but never doing one before. Even though we did it as a class it was a big step for me.
