Science Fair

Last Tuesday we went to Elk Point and judged a science fair. We got there and we were served lunch right away. The lunch was alright but the fun was yet to come. After we ate I left with the other fifth grade judges and our teacher explained what we were to do. I was in the earth science department. I looked at presentations from a windmill to which golf ball will go the farthest. The presentation I chose from my group was which rock will react to a liquid thing. I found that one the most amazing and the board was the most creative. I then got together with the rest of my group and picked our top 4. Then all the fifth graders and sixth graders got together to pick a number 1 and 2 overall. It was a very fun day. One reason is because I never would have imagined these students would have been that creative.

Final Project

Today in class we worked on our final project. We picked out what grade we wanted to present. The grade that Brandon, Adam, and I chose was 8th grade. We have to connect the grade before and after us into our project. It was a good class because we were able to come up with ideas about what to do. All of our grades are connected in some sort of way. It was good for all of us to figure out what we were doing.

day of seamless

Today we finished our seamless assessment quiz. This quiz was over the readings we were to complete in our Seamless Assessment Textbook. This was a good textbook because it gave us examples and showed us different types of assessment we could use in the classroom. One of the things that is discussed was the 5 E model in great depth. I really like this model because if a teacher uses it, it is a great way to assess their instruction.
