Language Arts Take Over

Over the last week or so, I have started to take over language and spelling. I thought that this would be an easy challenge because language and spelling were always my strengths as a student. However, I'm finding that just because I know something doesn't necessarily mean I can teach it well. I've been really putting a lot of effort into my grammar lessons as far as scripting and finding examples because my mind seems to go blank when I'm in front of the class. And because of that, yesterday's lesson on linking verbs went extremely well. Students seemed to actually get it! We'll see if that is still the case today.
