If we don’t make aware to them what their roles are as a kid they will never know. I think it’s important for children to know their family history, helping out in a “family”, and in a classroom. Children also should know what’s out their beyond school and home. We should teach them now what their roles are and the community around them. We want are children to be good helpers.// //Students will be able to identify their role in their family and in the classroom. They will also learn about their community and how to be helpers in our community, classroom and families.// //Describe the state curriculum standards this unit seeks to address.// Discuss, in detail, the adaptations you would make for at least one group of identified students (GT, ELA, SPED).

What went wrong could be more information to the lesson and maybe a book to help kids learn better.//

I think its a great way to get parents involved with an assignment and great for students to learn technology skills. What i think could be changed is finding a more convenient way for kids to this some parents just don't have either the time or skills.//

// My concern is this is to much for kindergartners to learn and have access to. Last concern is parents might get upset because they have to get a microphone and learn technology themselves. //
