Fantastic job going over what is expected today and what the students would be
learning..

The video was an excellent choice to introduce the water cycle.

It was great that you asked if all kids had looseleaf.

Also, it was a smart idea to review the way the forms that water comes in - gas,
liquid, solid.

Fantastic job moving circulating through the room to demonstrate presence.

Excellent job reading the slides. You read them over and stopped to explain each
slide with examples to explain the terms more in depth.

Much better job with pacing by slowing down and explaining the content in detail.

You did an excellent job of asking the students to explain the difference between
evaporation and condensation.

Excellent job including the video to show the evaporation experiment that the
students would be doing today. This reaches the students that are visual and
auditory learners.

The students were given directions as to how they would be getting the supplies
and this was done in an organized way. The students worked in groups.
The students were on task when they were doing the evaporation experiment.
After the students completed the experiment you ensured that you reviewed that
the water would evaporate over time because of the sun.

This was a fantastic lesson today. You ensured students understood the content
and you stopped and explained the terms and provided examples to further
understanding.

Excellent job in pacing and understanding the needs of the kids. Very proud of
your improvement in this area! :)

The pictures to show each term of the water cycle was also helpful to show
understanding of the content, as some need a visual to understand.

Also, it is great that you had other activities that students could work on after you
finished the lesson. In this case it was their food pyramid poster, which look
fantastic!

Also, since one group was finished you ensured that you went over to them to keep
them on task and engaged and quizzed them on the content covered today. You
know that a few in that group struggle, so you ensured to check their
understanding.

Fantastic job! Keep it up! :)
