I love this time of year.. Your classroom is put together and decorated. You have your first few days planned. You have yet to receive a roster, so you have no idea who is in your class. Absolutely anything is possible...
As I sat at my desk planning this afternoon, I realized that I have been limiting myself when I see a class contains certain types of students. Lower level readers? Well, remove the reading of the article from classwork... Behavior problem-prone students? Add more class work, subtract more out-of-the-box lessons to keep the peace. Higher level students? Add enrichment, more enrichment, and more enrichment.. Maybe, just maybe though Absolutely anything is possible... Maybe the limitations are my fault... I firmly believe that you must take a students learning styles into consideration whenever possible to allow that student to achieve, but teaching different shouldnt mean I settle for less. It's going to be a wonderful year!
