I've witnessed however, that you are often unable to achieve your goals for instructions with your students due to the number of children with behavior problems and self control issues who interfere with effective learning in your classroom. I pray for you often that you continue to find inner strength and fortitude to "hang in there" because believe it or NOT---you're certainly making a positive difference in the lives of your first graders!rwilliamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10271874103880262079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759195601288238430.post-40090726790197554782009-05-14T13:57:00.000-07:002009-05-14T13:57:00.000-07:00Your classroom sounds like the kind of classroom t...Your classroom sounds like the kind of classroom that I try to have. I struggled with having it be student-centered because the students don't take responsibility for their work and learning. I totally agree about students being able to relate to the material better if the project relates to real-life situations. Sometimes I don't think students believe me that they will one day have a particular situation happen to them. Maybe I need to create more open-ended focus questions and projects.Janet R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09196961814671455419noreply@blogger.com
