Last day, seriously?! Thanks for your help!

     First off, I want to thank all of the other college students for helping us out with this lesson today.  As we all know, last lesson did not go as smoothly as it could for our fourth grade companies because they could not get along with one another.  Today, we presented the fourth graders with many videos on the importance of cooperation and we could not have done it without you.  On that note, thank you all so much for helping throughout all of our lessons and again to group one for setting the project up so well!! 
       Our last day as teachers in the fourth grade classroom went very well.  We presented the students with a cooperative lesson, which required them to come up with a business plan and deliver a pitch to the venture capitalist.  The fourth grade companies seemed to get along so much better this session.  Yay! I knew my field group was successful with our lesson today when the companies were actually negotiating on their own with the venture capitalist.  The students actively talked to one another and did the best they could with the economic topic.  If the students were not successful in the cooperative lesson, they would not have been able to convince the venture capitalist to invest in them, which every company was able to do.
     Being teachers in the fourth grade class was an amazing experience.  My group worked so well together and I think we did as best as we could! Good luck group three!! You got this.
