The 5 E's

The 5 E's
Going through the 5 E's was interesting.  I had to step out of my comfort zone and engage a new way to learn.  I love this and I know my students will enjoy learning the 5 E way.  Students enjoy learning hands on and trying to figure something out on their own.  With the 5 E's model students needs to adapt to a new way of learning.   The 5 E model helps students with non-routine problem solving and thinking outside the box.  This will help them when they are in the work force as environment and ways of doing things are changing everyday.  Students need to have complex communication and social skills.  This will help the students in the future as they will need to read non verbal cues and understand verbally what their peers are discussing.  Having a class of students learning  the 5 E model will help them to self manage and take responsibility for their individual learning as well as their groups learning and understanding.
I loved trying to figure out how to make the finches turn in a square.  This is a introduction so I will be able to help my oldest son with his Genius Hour Project that his teacher has engaged him to complete.  He has decided to program a robot.  I can guide him and push him to think outside the box and help him learn how to program a robot.   This will also help me figure out how to implement it into my classroom. and work out most of the hiccups.  By getting my son's input and my input I think we can and will make this happen!
Til next time!  Ali
