July 22nd-Last Class

I really enjoyed the presentations today. I found many of the Filementality projects to be really impressive. In retrospect, I like the Hotlist because although simple, it is very clear and easy to use when looking at the websites. Additionally, I found many of the units and lessons to be interesting because I enjoy what younger and older studnets do in school. Being in 3rd/4th grade, it is important to see where my students come from and where they are going. I especially enjoy what the older (middle school and high school) teachers do with their students. It's clear they're really pushing them to think and work hard.

Moreover, I enjoyed the border presentations. It is always fascinating for me to see where my classmates come from and how their experiences and backgrounds shape who they are. As a young teacher from the suburbs of Long Island, it is always SO interesting to see the obstacles and experiences my classmates have faced.

I wish everyone could have presented their border project. Not only are they interesting, but they are more engaing and interactive. I feel the purpose of this assignement was to reflect upon our experience and gain perspective. Looking at myself and my classmates projects, I feel the goal of this assignement was clearly met.

Thanks for a great summer semester!
