I do not know if I have mentioned this before, but I am teaching a grade 4\/5 split. I have six grade 4 boys in my class. For the most part teaching a split has not been too difficult because one grade always seems to be an extension of the other.<\/p>\n
However, in science this is not the case. The grade 5 students need to learn about the human biology: circulatory system, respiratory system, and so on, whereas the grade 4 students need to learn about the five senses and how animals fives senses adapt to their environment to survive.<\/p>\n
I was so scared to take this day on. But, to my surprise it was a huge SUCCESS!<\/p>\n
I started off with the grade four doing a brain check in while I started the grade 5 lesson with a hook for the respiratory system. Once the I got the grade 5 students started on an “I wonder quest…” I went back to the grade 4 students to start their lesson. I could go on and on about how I had independent work, collaborative work, brain breaks throughout the day. The best part was the class was understanding what I was trying to teach them.<\/p>\n
Throughout the day I had to make sure all the students were in some shape engaged. There was times where I had to switch things around last minute, but, everything seemed to flow. The kids left the class content, not overwhelmed and happy.<\/p>\n
This totally made my day. Days like this is what I look forward too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
