Celebration of Learning

This past Thursday was our last day in the fourth-grade classroom at Bishop Dunn Memorial School. I had such an amazing experience teaching the students! They taught me so much and made me become a better teacher. During fieldwork, I realized we weren't prepared as much as we should've been.  We didn't prepare a Kahoot, and some groups didn't change their questions for the post-assessment. Although there were obstacles, as a class, we overcame it together. I loved watching each group teach direct instruction and inquiry. Everyone did wonderful and I am so proud of each and every group. I believe teaching is all about working together. It is no longer an individual job where you are working independently. 

The fourth-grade class was an amazing class to teach. They were all so bright, creative, and kind. These students were not shy at all, which made them unique and allowed this teaching experience to be fun and engaging. To begin our celebration of learning we gave the students a post-assessment which was conducted through google classroom on the iPads. The post-assessment was created through google forms. It can be viewed and accessed here. We have not gotten the results back from the teacher but I'm sure the students did great! After the students finished the post-assessment we let the students participate in a Kahoot! The students were so excited to do a Kahoot, it was their first one with us. Each student chose a silly name for the Kahoot because of a nickname generator they chose to use. Overall, the students' results were mostly correct. 

Honestly, teaching the fourth-grade science was life-changing for me. Each and every student taught me something new. They were all so interactive, smart, and an amazing student. I enjoyed every day in the classroom with them. I loved teaching them about weather & water, and see their knowledge grow. Thank you to Mrs. Hoag for welcoming us into her classroom to teach her amazing class! It was an experience I will never forget!
