Reflecting on my inquiry class as a teacher candidate, I've gained valuable insights through various activities.

During orchard garden visits, I discovered innovative teaching approaches that encourage creativity and exploration. These experiences have broadened my teaching toolkit.

Learning about collaborative teaching has been enlightening. While I don't firmly believe collaborative games are always better than competitive ones, I acknowledge the merits of both methods in teaching.

The hands-on activity of making braids has been a fun and effective way to connect with math concepts and the First Peoples' principles of learning. However, I'd appreciate incorporating more examples related to physics.

Exploring curves, straight lines, and right angles in learning has its appeal, but I feel the class lacked a significant impact on me.

The emphasis on projects has been refreshing. As teachers, staying updated with recent literature is crucial for self-improvement, and the project provides an excellent opportunity for this. My chosen project on generative AI has been both enjoyable and intellectually stimulating. The interaction with peers during hands-on activities has added to the experience, and I'm enthusiastic about continuing this research into the next semester.
