I would LOVE for my students (1st graders in Washington, DC) to do all of the things that your students do and more, but where do I begin? That's the question I am struggling with, there seems like so many things to do I just don't know where to start.Brandi Beershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03918142086348148647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790648314126186983.post-64124677078218806102013-04-19T21:44:12.168-04:002013-04-19T21:44:12.168-04:00I really enjoyed this post of yours!

When I started teaching, routines were so important to me -- absolutely nothing could change them! <br><br>I still believe in the importance of structure, but I'm better at embracing change. Students don't need to all be doing the same thing at the same time. If some activities take longer to complete, or something comes up that changes our plans, that's okay. We cope. <br><br>I do try to be cognisant of the needs of my various learners though. Some need stricter structures in place, and so if things are going to change, I try to prepare these students in advance. <br><br>Reading about your very integrated learning environment, I'd love to hear more about how you meet the various needs of your various students. Have you needed more structure for some students? How do you do this, while still adhering to a model that works well for many others? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!<br><br>Aviva<br>www.weinspirefutures.comAviva (@avivaloca)http://www.weinspirefutures.comnoreply@blogger.com
