I taught Grade One class the Science unit: Building Things. To encompass the outcomes of the unit we built Elf houses as it was right before Christmas and it gave them the opportunity to learn about a variety of materials, could build furniture, as well as record daily what they built in their elf booklets by drawing a picture of their piece of furniture, labelling the parts of it, as well as recording the materials used. This was beneficial for assessing student progress and KSA #11 as it provided a written means of assessing students throughout the unit. I also gave each student an elf hat to wear while building and their own elf to build a house for, which I feel enhanced the experience as students were excited and engaged. I feel that this addition also contributed to KSA # 8 as it helped build a relationship with the students further as they were able to see that I care about each and everyone of them and got them each something that they wouldn't have otherwise gotten, but helped to enhance the experience and learning of each student.
