That's a wrap

     Today was our last day with the fourth grade students and I cannot believe it.  Our time in the field went by so fast.  It was an amazing experience and I learned so much about economics and teaching children.  Although it was a good experience, I would not recommend the BizWorld projects.  In my opinion, the project moved too quickly and presented the students with too many difficult vocabulary terms at one time.  I think BizWorld needs to think of a more efficient way of teaching economics.
     I was very proud of our students and all that they have achieved.  Even during their recess time, the students worked hard on becoming excellent companies and completed various activities and assignments to the best of their abilities.  Again, although the students worked hard, I know personally the students I worked with were not huge fans of the program.  The students wanted more opportunity and freedom to show what they were learning.
     Today group four presented a lesson that was supposed to be a cooperative lesson.  Unfortunaltey, there was really no lesson presented today, making it hard to review the college students on their set up of cooperative learning lessons :(.  
 Overall, I think every college student did an AMAZING job teaching and I am so grateful we had a group of students and teacher that embraced us into their classroom.  Good job everyone!
