Nov. 25th

Today we ventured to Elk Point to their annual science fair. We were graciously asked to judge the science fair projects. The ages ranged from 5th grade to 8th grade. There were many amazing projects; some that even blew me out of the water. It was very rewarding to see how engaged and active the students were in their projects. They all put much time and effort into these projects and were proud of showing them off. Many projects went over my head, and I could not fathum the fact that 7th and 8th graders were doing these projects. This was a great learning experience that will help me as a teacher. It made me get invoved with the students, ask questions, and see where different cognitive levels of students were at. In all, today was really fun, and it was something different from the ususal meeting in the classroom. We always like field trips!!!!
