Wow....... that's all I can say......Yeah right, a teacher of few words!!
The minecraft projects were incredible. The erosion of the land due to the rerouting of the Matanuska River is a real problem and the students did a fantastic job. The steam boat was wonderful and inspiring as well. I can't even navigate in minecraft, I can't imagine the time it took to build that boat! The tunnels for the hamster were great as well and I can imagine what my room would look like if we did that. Thank goodness we have fish! I loved the idea of Harry Potter as a STEM lesson!
I have been inspired by the creativity of the teachers and instructors in this class. It helps me see ways to incorporate the content in more fun and engaging ways. I know that I will be teaching first grade again next year and I am going to spend time this summer finding ways to put into place what I have learned from this experience.
Thank you everyone for your hard work and dedication.

Debbie - it has been great to have you in class. Your project was a great example of the engineering design cycle adapted to your location and grade level. I would love to hear about the projects you use in the future!
