Water Project - Week 5: Presentation Day!

This is our schedule for Week 5:

Monday (March 30)	Tuesday (March 31)	Wednesday (April 1)	Thursday (April 2)	Friday (April 3)
Presentation Day! (For 3rd Grade)		Water Presentation is presented (For Science Class)

On Monday, we presented to Ms Dripps' 3rd grade class. We would present on Monday, March 30 at 9:00 am. This was the best time to present because it was during science (so we had permission to leave the science classroom) and it gave us half an hour to make last minute preparations/rehearse.

At 8:55 am, we left the science classroom to get to Ms Dripps' class on time. We got there three minutes early and just waited outside the classroom. Kea-Roy peeked inside and told me that they were doing something, tech or reading. Then, a very excited kid skipped out of the room and drank from the water fountain. I think he was the one who told Ms Dripps we were here. The IA came out and welcomed us in.

Ms Dripps told us that airplay wasn't working right and you wouldn't be able to connect to airplay via wifi. The only way to connect was to plug in a plug. The 3rd graders were starting to head down to the carpet where they would listen to our presentation. Kea-Roy plugged his computer in but it would only show Kea-Roy's desktop on the airplay screen. I tried my computer but the same thing happened. Luckily, Ms Dripps booked the 3rd grade group room. So Kea-Roy and I headed there. We connected to airplay via wifi and it worked.

We presented our presentation filled with facts. One fact was every minute a child dies from a water related disease. After we presented the facts, we played a game. It was a Scratch game coded by Kea-Roy. We split the class in half and assigned them to either my computer or Kea-Roy's computer. They were really like the game and they didn't want to stop playing.

I think this was a very successful water project. Also, I felt that there were no major problem we had to face along the way. The hard work of making the game and presentation paid off!

Water Project - Week 4: Spring Break

Week 4 was spring break so I didn't really do much work on the project. The only thing I did was rehearse my lines for the presentation on Monday, March 30.

Water Project - Week 3: Final Touches

This week, Kea-Roy and I are adding final touches to our presentation to the third graders. We also have practiced saying the facts. I feel that we are heading the right direction. Kea-Roy also started working on the presentation for the library. Our presentation to the third graders is on March 30.

Water Project - Week 2: Making Our Presentation

Kea-Roy and I are making our presentation. We are using google slides to show the information and making games to make this presentation more interactive. Kea-Roy has already made one game on Scratch. I think it is a great game, but there was one problem, we only have two computers. This meant we had to split the class into two groups so that everyone can play. One way to solve this problem is to just stop making games that require a computer. The other way is to just split the class into two groups and choose one or two people who can play the game.

Last week, we asked Mrs Wilcox if we could present to her but sadly there was no time for us to present to her class. Right after we got the news, we sent an email to Ms Dripps. Five minutes later, she replied. She was available! Also the timings fit really well. We were available when she was.

Water Project - Week 1: Planning

This week, the water project has been launched! In this project are meant to raise awareness about people not having safe water. With Kea-Roy, we decided to present to elementary school. We decide to present to Ms Wilcox's class and Ms Dripps class because we had siblings there. Our idea was to create a presentation and games to raise awareness about people not having safe water. The presentation is going well and we have just asked Ms Wilcox if we could present to her.
