Math Night

By the Foot

I had been looking forward to Math Night all semester. What I did not realize was how tired I was going to be after having practicum all day. When I arrived at Glennwood I was greeted with smiling faces. We set up out station in the best way we thought.

Once our station is set up we all begin discussing the process one last time. We brought erasers for all the students who came through our station. I think this really made the students excited when they were done. We told them that they did such and awesome job measuring/estimating that they earned an eraser.

We did experience a traffic jam from time to time. In hindsight we should not have had so many things to measure. Next time we uses this station we will cut the list of things to measure by 50 percent. I believe we all did an excellent job keeping the students moving through the station. Even though at times I felt a little scrambled and I was burning up. Other than that I enjoyed my experience getting to meet so many new students, and to get to see the excitement they still have for school.

Science Night



I enjoyed Science Night at AL Lotts. We had practiced our station prior to Science Night. Our station was able to be set up fairly easily, but clean up was more difficult. The first few times we went through our information with the students it was somewhat shaky, but we got it down. Once more students came in it got louder making it harder to hear and explain the directions. We would discuss what packing peanut where and also what the word biodegradable meant. The older students were able to answer both of these questions, while the younger ones had to be told about them. As an extension we asked them what would happen if the nuddle was placed in a cup of water.

When the first few students come through they did not seem very excited, but as the night went on they became more excited. Also as the night went on the structures they were building were becoming more elaborate. Several of the students were able to build a structure that would hold a whole cup full of pennies. Other student could not even get their cup to stay on top of their structure. Also some students added to much water and their structure would designate. Some of the ways the students put the nuddles together surprised me. They were really thinking about where they were going to put their cups. Some even built supporting beams to help hold the cup.

Overall, I feel like Science Night was an amazing experience for both myself and the students. I cannot wait for Math Night. I love seeing the students getting so excited about doing the hands on activities while learning.
