Reflecting on Learning

Students blogging with their group.

We have been able to record some of our reflections about simple machines through our own student blogs on kidblog.org.  Students are able to reflect on their learning and comment on their peer's ideas.

The picture is linked to the kidblog website.  Ask your child to share their blog with you.

Reflections

We have been setting goals as scientists and a community goal for the groups we work with.  During this we try to constantly reflect on our learning and how we are meeting our goals.  Some samples below provide you with some examples of student learning.
