<strong>Week Eight</strong>

<em>Tuesday, May 16</em>:

Today I began working with a group of three fifth-graders on the destination brochure project I designed. The goal of our first meeting was to introduce the project and get a little research done. However, the guidelines weren't as clear as I had hoped and seemed a little too challenging for that grade level, so once the students had returned to their classroom I spent the rest of my shift revising the project and creating a study guide to direct their research.

<em>Thursday, May 18</em>:

I updated the Adobe software on the engineers' computer as they were having trouble opening/downloading documents they needed for work. It seemed to resolve the issue, but there were still a few links that would not open. Not sure if this is a problem on the Fiske end or on the end of the office sending them.

For my second class, I introduced the new research guides. Despite only having a limited time to work, the students seemed to do much better with a template to fill out and all had completed at least half of their sheet by the time class was over. Hopefully, I will be able to wrap this project up before the end of the quarter!
