In meeting with my colleague, I was able to address some worries and uncertainties of mine about implementing this unit and get some advice for how to go about it. My colleague reminded me of the importance of not putting pressure on myself since it affects the kids process as well if we feel rushed or are trying to push the learning in a certain direction. I had to me reminded of the need for flexibility in inquiry-based learning.
He also helped me adjust some of my activities to make them as practical and realistic as possible. He also gave me an idea to include a bird sound activity in my 5th lesson of the unit on bird communication.
It was also very motivating and reassuring to be able to connect with a teacher than understands the exact process and was able to give me meaningful feedback.
