On Wednesday
November 21st, grade 5 science session wasn’t the same as everyday. Special
visitors were present in our classroom. Fifteen mothers were invited to attend
an interactive science class where we were the teachers and our moms were the
students.
We started preparing for this event a week
ago. Our class was divided into Jigsaw
groups. Jigsaw is a cooperative learning technique that promotes better
learning, improves student motivation, and increases enjoyment of the learning
experience. Each Jigsaw group took a part of the lesson to explain it for the
rest of the class. In one jigsaw group, Salma and Marwa were responsible for
presenting body cells; Lama and Tala were assigned to cover the respiratory
system; Ruba and Mona the excretory system; Hiba and Lana the circulatory
sytem; Bayan and Malak the skeleton system. Jamal summed up the lesson through
an interactive flipchart. Finally, Nivine gave us some tips that help us keep
our body strong and healthy.
When mom is
present Learning becomes definitely so much fun!
