Hard Work Pays Off!

All of my students passed their science outcome assessments! I am so proud of them for working hard and proud of myself for providing quality instruction! I have never seen my entire class pass an outcome assessment for a unit I taught. Therefore, I was shocked at their scores! I am very pleased with the results. I think my students did well because I planned engaging lessons and activities. Students sang songs, made a cloud painting, made a water cycle bracelet, watched video clips, made flip books, worked with partners, made graphic organizers, and played games to review content. The students were engaged in instruction, and the activities were meaningful to them. Also, I constantly assessed students for misconceptions. I reflected on my lessons using the assessments. Then, I adapted my lessons to address misconceptions. I had to put in a lot more work to plan lessons and assess students, but the work paid off. The students rocked the assessment!
