This week my favorite part was seeing my students bullying projects come together! We did not have any explicit math instruction for me to review their work other than homework, however it was just a review of each type of graph they have learned. So I decided to write about their amazing projects!
I could not believe that finally after two weeks of explicit instruction my students were able to put together posters that looked amazing! It showed off all their math skills that they have been learning, bar graphs, line graphs and line plots. It also was cool to see the different types of titles that they chose for their titles. The best part of the day for me by far would have been seeing the look on each students face as they completed their project. They were so happy and felt so accomplished they could not believe that they finished a fourth grade project and saw all the work that they have been doing come together and really mean something.
It was also very interesting to see the students really check their grading rubrics with each component of the project to make sure they had every piece and that they clearly labeled every part of their poster. My students are all dying for their posters to be hung up in the wall because each of them is so proud of their work. That to me is so important because they will now want to try hard on each project because they will want to have that same feeling again and now that they are creating something that truly is a reflection of what they have learned and have done.
