Sixth Grade Students Talk About Their Turtle School of Dance Experiences
  • So far my experience with MicroWorlds is a good one. Even though I already have had some experience with this particular program, this is a better experience for me because I now understand the concepts of degrees, decimals, and percentages when before I only knew basics.

     

  • I think Ms. Bridgewater's Turtle School of Dance is a great fun and an educational experience for me. So far I have made the triangle and the square. The triangle was difficult for me because you have to use different degrees and know the meaning of supplementary angles in order to accomplish this. Unlike the square where you only had to turn 90 degrees and go left or right.

     

  • I think I have worked decently well so far. But my goal is to work even harder so as I may go to the convention with Ms. Bridgewater and our computer teacher, Mr. Lipinski. But please don't wish me good luck. As Ms. Bridgewater says: "It's not luck, it's hard work and a positive attitude." And that's what I plan on doing.
