Celebration Of Learning Time🥳 🥳🎉🎉

 Welcome back everyone to my blog!

Guess what everyone. We have finally completed our fieldwork with the fourth grade class of Bishop Dunn. After two months of teaching our "Energize Everything" unit, it has sadly come to an end. I just want to say it was an amazing experience overall. I gained an understanding of how I can make lessons and I also learned to use Nearpod, which is such an amazing digital tool that I recommend you all use in your classrooms. I would also like to give a big shoutout to my colleagues Ryley, Valerie, and Britany, thank you for making this whole process easier I would not have done it without all your help, hard work and determination. 

For our celebration of learning which took place on November 18, 2021, all five groups had to create an activity based on the lessons we taught during the past two months. Group 1 created a turkey escape room which I loved, group 2 used a collision simulation which allowed the students to refresh their memories for the two lessons they taught, group 3 created a jeopardy game on a jam board which was creative, group 4 played a circuit game on cool math games with the class and I also played it and enjoyed the game so much, they also had a Kahoot game, and finally group 5 (my group) created a parachute game on Jamboard  and I had so much fun with the students during our activity! For our activity we included five words that were discussed during both our lessons and on each slide you would see one of our Bitmojis with a parachute on and then we had the ocean underneath. A student was to say a letter and try to guess the word, if they got the letter wrong a line of the parachute would be erased and if they were unable to correctly guess the word, our bitmojis would sink into the water. If they got the letter right the letters would be written on the lines to form a word and no parachute lines would be erased. The words were heat, energy, wind, smog, and transfer. 

After all our activities were over, we gave the fourth grade class certificates for completing the "Energizing Everything" unit. My group nominated two students for special nominations and they were for, "most eager to teach" and "enthusiastic learner". All the students were so polite and clapped for their classmates. 

I'll be honest it was a bittersweet moment for me. I am going to miss teaching the students lessons and I'm especially going to miss how active the students were to participate. I believe everything turned out great and I wanted to give another shoutout to Dr. Smirnova for being with us all every step of the way! Also, thank you Mrs. Swinkunas for giving us the opportunity to teach your fourth grade class. This fieldwork experience was really amazing to me, and I hope you all had a great time just as I did.

That is all I have for today. Thank you or stopping by everyone see you next time! 🙂
