When I plan, I try to make sure that you are not missing anything when you are gone. When you are in GT class we are doing a review activity or something else that I know you wouldn't be disappointed to miss. I will do my best to plan, so you don't miss anything super important or fun. As we move through the year, if you feel like you are missing a lot we can talk about it again.

Are you wanting to complete future assignments and explore upcoming learning before they are assigned to the rest of the class? If so, let's talk about compacting.

Are there specific parts of our day or activities that you are disappointed to miss? Would putting these activities and lessons in Seesaw for you help with that?

What you get to do in GT the others do not get to do. These activities help you use your thinking in the ways that work for you.

In our class you are viewed as a leader and others look up to you for advice. I want you to understand that if you feel uncomfortable with helping anyone you can come and talk to me. If you feel like the same person is asking you for help and they aren't learning maybe suggest that they do the work independently first then you can just review it.

I also notice sometimes you'd rather continue working alone without being bothered. 
Would you like to meet with me and brainstorm a system/schedule that would allow you to help when you would like and work independently  without worry of interruption? ]]> 2021-08-02 00:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/1666104633 Christina Thomas cthomas01 https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/1666121828 I recognize it feels that way. Your brain is being challenged in different ways than your classmates. Let's brainstorm some ways we can connect these challenges to your other units of study.

Sometimes it can be tough to be a part of a community, but it can also be pretty great. Do you think it's possible your classmates also feel misunderstood? Is it possible you don't know all of their sides? How can we, as a class, create an environment where all students get to share their all their sides? What do you think might happen?]]> 2021-08-02 00:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/1666131874 Jennifer Clinton https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/1669456567 I understand and hear what you are saying about not wanting to miss anything in class while you are in GATES. What activities do you feel you are missing? I have worked out schedule around the GATES schedule and we have intervention time during that time to work on things we struggle with. Would you like to find another time to work on things you missed?

You are such a leader that other students love gaining from your knowledge! Is there a subject you love that you'd rather be my helper with? Is there a subject you really do not enjoy helping with? https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/1675568251 2021-08-11 14:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/1675568251 I understand that, and I remember feeling that way too. No one expects you to be perfect -- mistakes are proof we are trying and LEARNING!! Have you talked to your parents about how you feel about expectations?

I really try and make sure we aren't doing the highly important activities when you are out of class. Here is what we worked on today while you were out. Would you like a copy of them to look over or work later?]]> 2021-08-11 17:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/1675778172 Kelley Schemmel https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/1675778933 If you show mastery of a topic on our pretest, you can then accelerate through the content and work on more challenging work through a choice board.

If I am challenging you at your appropriate level, you shouldn't be making 100's on everything. I want to see you working on things that are truly challenging for you and show that you are growing your brain.

As your teacher, I can look at your pretest and determine the areas you already understand. I will then have some activities for you to choose from while I'm teaching the lesson the rest of the class. You will be able to choose what to work on and how to present it that way!

Let's practice ways that we can include others and let them know about us.]]> 2022-01-02 23:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/1971262971 Melissa Newton melissakunkonewton https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/1971266095 That sounds like a lot of pressure and it must be hard to deal with sometimes. It must feel like that, but I know your friends, parents and I want you to be successful; not just in school but in anything that you do. However, sometimes we don't get A's and may not do our best work. We all feel like that. Let's brainstorm some ways to deal with that pressure when it feels like too much.]]> 2022-01-03 00:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/1971266095 Melissa Newton melissakunkonewton https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/1971269401 I know, right? I'm sure that we are always taking tests and it feels that way to me also.  We know that it is an important way for me and you, our school, and others to see how we are performing. Remember it is just a score and doesn't define you; even though it may feel that way.  There are things in life that are required and tests are one of those things. What are some ways that we can make the tests seem less overwhelming?]]> 2022-01-03 00:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/1971269401 Kelsey Cruse kelseycruse1 https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/2068544680 Thank you for sharing your concerns with me about missing out on activities we do in the classroom while you are in GATES. I'm sorry this is frustrating you. What are some of the activities you are concerned about that you are missing? I would love to brainstorm some ideas together on how we can keep this from happening in the future. We can even talk to your GATES teacher and get her ideas as well.]]> 2022-02-27 23:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/2068544680 Kelsey Cruse kelseycruse1 https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/2068547276 I am sorry you are feeling the weight of all that pressure and I am also sorry if I have ever made you feel that way. Please know that I am proud of you and want you to be successful, but that doesn't mean you have to get A's all the time. There are so many amazing things about you! How can you communicate to me when you are feeling this pressure and how can I best help you?]]> 2022-02-27 23:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/2068547276 Kelsey Cruse kelseycruse1 https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/2068549088 I know tests can be tough and also pretty annoying! These tests are a great way for teachers to collect data and see how students are doing in their learning, but remember a test score does not define you. Even though we still have to do tests, I would love to give you some other ways you can also show me your learning if you would like. What are some other ways you would like to show me mastery in a topic?]]> 2022-02-27 23:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/2068549088 Kelsey Cruse kelseycruse1 https://padlet.com/arowell18/ps1iqicuklmxv7sk/wish/2068551550 I am sorry that you feeling that school is easy and boring.
