Hello and Welcome To Rocio’s World. Today we’re going to talk about the 5th grades, Parent Ed camp.

Today Wednesday November 28th, 2018, The whole fifth grade had something called a “Parent Edcamp.” A Parent Edcamp is when someone in fifth grade, mom or dad come in to give a talk. The talk the parents give is about, something they are experts in, they work for, a hobby they enjoy.. After every talk we did an activity, related to the talk in some way.

The talk I signed up for first was Interior Design. The interior design talk was about the process that goes into being an interior designer and the process of designing a clients room. First the talker told us about how she started being an Interior Designer, Then she talked about what she needed to do to be able to start the buisness and get clients, Finally she talked about what goes into designing a room. As an activity we got to design our own rooms, the speaker had brought fabrics and wallpaper designs. The activity was probably my favorite part. It was really fun to be able to play with color and design.

The talk I signed up for after was Magazine Buisness. The Magazine buisness talk was about everything that goes into making a magazine and everyone that works on the magazine, to make it. The talker first explained how you could find a magazine with any topic you wanted, Then she explained how a sports magazine is made (Like Sports Illustrated), Then the talker explained how advertisements want to be in magazines that there product has something to do with the topic of the magazine. For example a Gatorade add wants to be in a sports magazine because its a sports drink, and people that like sports might be intrested. Finally the talker talked about what goes into a travel magazine. For the activity we brainstormed ideas if we were going to make a Heathcote magazine. The activity was really fun because we could imagine we were writing a magazine.

Overall My ”Parent Edcamp” experience was Awesome! I can’t wait to be able to do it again!
