How It applies to the classroom: its hard teaching sleepy children because they are inattentive. Its not really anything you can do to help.]]> 2020-01-27 14:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/bwyf2xwkjljh/wish/436411141 https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/bwyf2xwkjljh/wish/436411142 Write your fact and page number here. ]]> 2020-01-27 14:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/bwyf2xwkjljh/wish/436411142 kamorim https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/bwyf2xwkjljh/wish/436411151 "Early developing females have a higher risk of developing mental illnesses" (Page 19). ]]> 2020-01-27 14:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/bwyf2xwkjljh/wish/436411151 https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/bwyf2xwkjljh/wish/436411177 "Males who don't begin to mature physically by age fifteen are more likely to suffer negative effects than on-time or early -maturing males.

On this page a student says that, "Sometimes when the teachers are not looking, I need to stand." This quote was fascinating because it shows how much middle school students are changing and how they might have growing pains and need to move around, even though they feel like they shouldn't. This picture is supposed to represent a child that might have grown too much to sit comfortably at a desk (even though the photo is of an adult).]]> 2020-01-27 14:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/bwyf2xwkjljh/wish/436411476 https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/bwyf2xwkjljh/wish/436411526 many young adolescents gain 40 to 50 lbs before puberty is over.]]> 2020-01-27 14:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/bwyf2xwkjljh/wish/436411526 https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/bwyf2xwkjljh/wish/436411547 Although brain development is important during this time, not all new brain cells survive. Those that aren't being used often go through a process called "pruning" and are shrunk and eventually die off. This is seen as more of a positive thing though, rather than negative.

ex: Bones in legs might grow faster than the rest of the bones might not be growing at all.

How it applies to classroom: We could explain the types of changes in the body, and the impact that they might have on our students. We could do activities to explain how these work.
Ex: Student: "I don't know why my feet are so big, but I am so short." 
Teacher: "Each part of development is different for everyone. That is what makes everyone special in our classroom community."]]> 2020-01-27 14:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/bwyf2xwkjljh/wish/436411940 https://padlet.com/kristinafalbe/bwyf2xwkjljh/wish/436412180 Young Adolescents are looking for medically accurate answers about their growth and development.
