REFLECTION: After the lesson, reflect on what went well and what didnt go well. Write changes you might implement the

During the lesson I forgot to tell the students not to squirt each other and forgot to tell them that each person in the
fire truck gets to squirt out the fire. The lesson went pretty smoothly for the most part other than those two things.
