This past week was a short week due to Thanksgiving break, but that still didn't stop us from learning. This week I got to start working with other students who were struggling with money and time. It is interesting to see how the kids are able to come up with certain answers and then are able to explain how they got those answers. Students who don't understand time or money I will then offer them a tip, and then it works out very well, seeing how fast they can learn. I am quite impressed with how well the students are learning. I hope to see these students pass their tests with money and time.
Also this week, students began working on a PowerPoint Presentation. The students had the chance to learn about animals, and then would be able collect information about the book, such as the habitat and what they eat. After they gathered the information, they have to put it into a Power Point. This is the student's first experience with Power Point, and it is pretty chaotic to say the least. The kids don't have that much experience with it, and since they don't know they are asking all of the questions imaginable wanting help on how to find everything, or even how to type. It is crazy to think that this is something that the CT goes through every day, with all of the kids shouting for the teacher at once, it gets loud and challenging.
It will be rewarding to see the kids present the information, at the end because of all of the hard work you have seen the students put into these presentations.
Questions for this week are, Have any of you seen your students work on any projects? How did that work for the students, were they able to understand it or are they constantly asking for help?
I still can't believe we only have one week left. The time literally just flew by in the blink of an eye. It makes me sad that we have to leave the classrooms. To answer your questions My students did a Thanksgiving project. I think it worked out very smoothly for the students. They all pretty much understood what they were supposed to be asking. Of course we had a few questions and had to redirect some students that were using too much glue. Other than that it went pretty well.
