Tammy's Yardsticks by https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1 Made with a little mischief en-us 2016-11-14 17:03:33 UTC 2026-03-16 16:48:09 UTC hello@padlet.com TS on page 21. The author talks about sleep time and sleep patterns of adolescents. I often thought that my son would have been so much happier and easier to get along with ;) in HS if he could have slept until 10:00! tfisher8 https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1/wish/137452935 2016-11-14 17:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1/wish/137452935 *! page 25 reading on retention. "Students who are retained for purely academic reasons do not benefit....and are actually seriously harmed by it." tfisher8 https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1/wish/137453924 2016-11-14 17:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1/wish/137453924 Page 34 * tfisher8 https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1/wish/137455114 "... The entire school community is responsible for the progress of every child."]]> 2016-11-14 17:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1/wish/137455114 Cognitive Growth-7 year olds tfisher8 https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1/wish/138934636 "Because of their strong need for routine and closure, need time to finish their work; appreciate a "heads-up" that it's time to prepare for transitions".  I thought I would make note of this because I was thinking about my friend that is co-teaching this year.  She is in second grade with 20 students.  4 students have IEPS and 2 studnets have 504 plans.  Between their developmental needs and their special needs I could only think how much better a student's day and a teacher's day could be if the teacher had this information.]]> 2016-11-20 14:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1/wish/138934636 for five year olds and six year olds the author talks about continuing hands-on explorations with size, shape, length , volume,... using sand and water tables and hands-on equipment and materials. I feel kike we have lost so much of this ecause of the standards. It just reminded me of the importance of play. tfisher8 https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1/wish/138934905 2016-11-20 14:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1/wish/138934905 I found it interesting that six year olds are more focused on process than product. At seven students emphasis changes to a focus on high-quality products. The author also said that students cannot correctly spell word snad do their best handwriting at the same time! They can do both but not at the same time. tfisher8 https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1/wish/138935181 2016-11-20 14:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1/wish/138935181 It is interesting that older five year olds need consistent rules and discipline more so than they do earlier at 5. tfisher8 https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1/wish/138935342 2016-11-20 15:01:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tfisher8/zjyy1hnputi1/wish/138935342 five year olds "crave constant validation..."
