BLOG THREE - March 24, 2017

1. What have you accomplished?

• Our accomplishments include: a finished lesson plan and a completion of peer commenting for the elevator pitches.

2. What has gone wrong? 

• Fortunately, nothing has gone wrong this week. We got the lesson plan ready for the kids, now all we have to do is make sure we actually get the kids to want to do the activities. 

3. What challenges have you faced?

• My group and I are low on money at the moment so we had trouble trying to buy the supplies we needed for the activities. Luckily, the library already had most of them so we only had to buy a few. Another challenged we faced was trying to think of the activities we could have the kids do. 

4. What have you learned through the process?

• I learned that when you're planning activities for a variety of kids, you really need to think about what some kids can and can't do. You can't just say "oh yeah okay let's do this," because a lot of the kids are still learning to make things without making a mess and there are some who are limited to things they can do. You really need to make sure that all the kids can participate in the activities you have planned.

 5. How have your skills improved over the past week?

• I know how to make an effective lesson plan and take many factors into account (i.e. money, time, materials, etc). 

6. Are you on track for an on-time delivery?

•  Yes, my team and I are on track for time delivery because our mentor needed our lesson plan by Wednesday and we managed to turn it in on time. 

7. What adjustments need to be made on the timeline?

• We need to adjust the schedule again because my team and I aren't in charge of the movie that'll be showing at 1pm-2pm. 

8. My next action is….

• We are finally going to get to engage with the kids through the activities that MY team has planned, not anyone else's own. I'm quite excited to see how this goes. Hopefully the kids have fun.
