=How does learning occur? You decide!= In the space below please do the following: He started using the chimes at the park to explore the different sounds that were produced. || He realized that he could make different sounds and melodies. || Would he have been more motivated to experiment with the new playground equipment if he was being told what to do? || Can they make the connection between the US Constitution and the classroom constitution they created? || He found it slow to watch because after a play ended so did the action. By the end of the first half he was using terms like'first down''line of scrimmage' 'intercepted' and 'sack' || Would it have been easier to understand if he were actually at a game? Or possibly playing a pickup game? ||

 * **Observation** || **Findings** || **Questions** ||
 * Kristi observed her four year old son at a park.
 * Fabiola observed a class of 5th grade students in a social studies class. They were presented with information about the US Constitution, engaged in group discussions, and then directed to complete a task independently. Afterwards, the entire class was engaged in a discussion about what they had learned. || The students were presented with questions to review what they had learned and were able to explain what they learned. During group conversations, the students discussed the importance of the Constitution and created a list of classroom rules for a classroom constitution. || Will they remember the facts presented about the Constitution such as the date it was ratified?
 * Christine observed her 12 year old daughter learning how to add and subtract positive and negative numbers. || As her daughter completed a practice sheet for this skill, her answers were confirmed if she correctly decoded the hidden message. If the message did not make sense, she would know that her answers to the math problem were incorrect. || If she didn't have the practice with this type of independent activity, would she have the same understanding of the concept? ||
 * Melinda observed her daughter teacher her husband football rules. They've been with me for 3 weeks in between moves between Montana and Virginia. Since pre-season football was on on the weekends she was excited to watch a game while home. But Rion, her husband, was not a football player or never really a fan. || Rion found it strange compared to soccer rules. That the team with the ball has 4 chances to score a touchdown.
