First Whole Class Math Lesson

Today I taught my first math lesson to the first graders in my field school. I did okay. I know I can do better. For some reason, I couldn't pull things together. Next time I need to script what I am doing for the before, during and after phrase of the lesson. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm usually detail-oriented. I think I'm just feeling overwhelmed already. My first lesson plans are due for my Monday and Tuesday night classes. I want to do well. It's so hard. I need to focus and just do it. When I was younger, I was so fearless. Even when I was stressed, I kept going.
