I have been able to get to know my students on a more personal level allowing me to incorporate their interests and passions into my instruction and curriculum. Additionally, I have been able to create interactive and enjoyable lessons that help students get out of their seats 
and better retain the information. ]]> 2017-10-26 16:38:12 UTC https://padlet.com/knocca/u4l029fo31cr/wish/200911975 lautas https://padlet.com/knocca/u4l029fo31cr/wish/200917866 My biggest challenge so far is trying to meet the needs of all of the students in my classroom. I have students in math that are already doing multiplication and students who have to use their fingers to add 2+2. In reading I have students who do not know all of their letters and I have students who are reading chapter books. ]]> 2017-10-26 16:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/knocca/u4l029fo31cr/wish/200917866 https://padlet.com/knocca/u4l029fo31cr/wish/200918264 My biggest surprise so far is how big of a gap there is in the levels of my students.]]> 2017-10-26 16:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/knocca/u4l029fo31cr/wish/200918264 jungza https://padlet.com/knocca/u4l029fo31cr/wish/200918356 My biggest challenge thus far has been working to meet the needs of all my students and motivating those who are lazy or have poor work ethic to complete assignments on time or in general. Working with inclusion classes is new for me, so consistently finding ways to ensure that the accommodations of my 40+ IEP students are being met is an every day challenge. ]]> 2017-10-26 16:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/knocca/u4l029fo31cr/wish/200918356 lautas https://padlet.com/knocca/u4l029fo31cr/wish/200918787 One thing I would not change is the relationship I have with my students.
