Chapter 5

I always enjoy hearing from other teachers about different ideas that work in their classrooms.  This chapter was enlightening in showing ways  teachers can differentiate in their classroom, and that there is no one "right" way.  Different groups of students and different classes need different things. My first graders come with such a wide range of reading levels that I feel I have done a better job better differentiating reading instruction than math in my own classroom.  This year I am planning on doing more individualized instruction and hands on learning stations for math instruction.
