A.L. Lotts Elementary is an elementary school off of Westland Drive that has a very positive environment. They instill in each child the idea that their personal best is what they should strive for. They are a tight community. The environment is very welcoming, and my time here has been very enjoyable.

 * Magnets Science in a box- 3rd Grade **
 * Activity Used- What Will Magnets Attract? **
 * Because of the limited time for science, I was only able to teach one lesson. The children engaged in an activity that introduced them to magnets. I used a pdf file to give them some background on magnets. Using the materials that were given to them, they created a picture graph on what they thought would be attracted to the magnet. Then, they tested the materials and changed their pictures if they needed too. For the second part of my activity, they chose three items they thought were magnetic and three items they thought were not magnetic. They could not use the materials that they had already tested. They did a dicussion on why they thought those items were magnetic or why they were not magnetic. **
 * Formative assessment tool- Stick questioning: Using sticks that had their names on them, I asked different students questions about the lesson on magnets. (Used) **
