I really liked Lyrrah's activity with the cotton balls making the clouds, it was age appropriate. and really interactive. She could have let the students make the clouds on their own instead of showing them how the finished product would look.

Amie's introduction to the topic of clouds was very good too. The song was a good anticipatory set because the students will be excited to learn about the different clouds.

Nathali's activity with the M&Ms was a good model of how students would make it in the classroom with the actual beans. I would suggest that she take her time in the beginning of the lesson because she was asking questions too quickly.

I really enjoyed the activities. I think they were a great way to engage all students and offer different ways for students to participate as well as understand the material presented. Singing, coloring, and doing an experiment was a creative and fun way to engage all students. The only thing I would suggest is that maybe have the hyper kids hand out the supplies and handouts- Let them move around but also be productive and helpful in the classroom.

I loved the lessons about clouds today! All three of the people that presented did really well and I can see it doing great in a second grade classroom. I know the second graders would love to sing the cloud song and would be amazed by the cloud in a jar. The art lesson was also very creative. I am excited to see the rest of the lesson on Thursday.

The task 4 presentations so far were well done. They were well organized and the pacing was appropriate. There were multiple assessments in the plans, such as class discussion and explaining projects. Also, the lesson plans were appropriate for the grade levels. The elementary school lessons were very creative, which will engage the students.
