"Dear Paulo,
You have done a great job. I read your plan, is very good, in my opinion, because parents a really involved in the project activities. They give feedback, they support students and of course they learn new things together with them. Your lesson plan is inspiring for me.

Learning activities are well balanced and with focus on practice and that's a good thing.

I am sure will add learning outcomes to your project.

Congratulations!"

"Works executed correctly, respecting the times and phases of its implementation, small error in specifying the total of minutes."

"Exelent plan lesson , very original idea, congratulation and good luck in your work."

"Hi, I like your work! It' original, personal and very involving!"
"Hi Paulo

I really enjoyed your LD. May be you devoted too much time to practice, but computation thinking is right suitable for a a project task based learning and competitio is a great strategy. So well done ! Parents and students engaged in a task involving a shared goal is real collaboration and best of all "learn to learn" . Thinking about the shared experience gives both of them a real feedback for self evaluation.

What else ? Keep on good work!

Kind regards"
