I have taught in an inner city 3rd grade, 7th and 8th and am now in a suburban 6th and 7th. While the two districts are next to each other the differences in behavior, learning style and developmental stages are vast. ]]> 2017-04-18 14:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/knute076/ejafqa4p7fwu/wish/166766001 knute076 https://padlet.com/knute076/ejafqa4p7fwu/wish/166767460 I learned that my expectations for a current Spanish speaking student, even in math class, may be to high as far as giving him tests in only English. I should be providing the tests in both still as I did in the beginning of the school year. ]]> 2017-04-18 14:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/knute076/ejafqa4p7fwu/wish/166767460 knute076 https://padlet.com/knute076/ejafqa4p7fwu/wish/166769464 I have done wrapped teaching and have had students two years in a row. While I agree that it can be great for kids to connect with a teacher and feel comfortable there can be times it isn't good. Not every student likes their teacher and if there is a tension that child could become more withdrawn from learning and shut down. There could also be tension between parents and the teacher. ]]> 2017-04-18 14:29:03 UTC https://padlet.com/knute076/ejafqa4p7fwu/wish/166769464 knute076 https://padlet.com/knute076/ejafqa4p7fwu/wish/167585458 Reading about 14 year olds and their stage of wanting independence I can relate as I have a son who just turned 15. I saw a difference in him this year as he entered high school and pulled away a little and would not be as open as he once was.]]> 2017-04-21 20:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/knute076/ejafqa4p7fwu/wish/167585458 knute076 https://padlet.com/knute076/ejafqa4p7fwu/wish/167587153 I have many students that participate in the school plays and drama club, I didn't realize this was part of their cognitive growth as they enter middle school. I had assumed it was just something new for them to try. ]]> 2017-04-21 20:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/knute076/ejafqa4p7fwu/wish/167587153 knute076 https://padlet.com/knute076/ejafqa4p7fwu/wish/167587647 As we see our students maturing faster now than they did ten years ago I wonder if we will see a shift of many of the traits down to lower ages. I already have some students that act more mature and at times much older than they are in 7th grade.]]> 2017-04-21 20:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/knute076/ejafqa4p7fwu/wish/167587647
