Today was 100 day! We counted treats and did a lot of fun activities that added up to 100! we even made cool hats, if theres a hat on your head, you know its gonna be a good day. This was my last day observing the 1st graders :( I told my son (he's a second grader) that I wanted to teach 1st grade and he told me to stick with kindergarten because its WAY easier.
During module 3 we have been discussing the diversity of students both culturally and educationally. Students in the same class can have so many different needs, some mentally and some physically. A good teacher needs to not only teach the class as a whole, but attend to the individual needs of students.
There were a few students that I saw getting extra attention from a teaching specialist for things like speech, ESL, reading help etc. I think that this extra one on one time is helpful for both the teacher and the student. There were some students who are above the level of their peers in reading, spelling or math. Those students did the same work with the class but were given an assignment on a higher level in order to challenge them. One boy in particular for example, had a harder reading book and took the same spelling test as the class, but also had a few more challenging bonus words.
