We are on the downhill slope.... I can't believe how fast this year is going. Since winter break I have made a few instructional changes and adjustments in my classroom. One thing that I am focusing on and
requesting help with is continuing to challenge my advanced math group. It's not that I don't know how to challenge them, but I am struggling with doing so within the standards and objectives that I need to follow.
Any suggestions or comments on how to be more successful at this? I have reached out the the GT coordinator for the district and she gave me some resource books to use, but I am still feeling like I need more.
Other than this, I am feeling hopeful that we will have a good CSAP year and our students are continuing to make great gains!
I'm having difficulty keeping my advanced students challenged. During writing my new idea has been allowing them to make a project. Currently we are comparing/contrasting world communities. They listen to the same mini-lesson and after I check their writing, they go to the computer for writing and drawing a picture using Kidspiration. Soon the advanced students will create an official slideshow/publication and will be ready to teach other kids! I hope this helps. Please e-mail/call if you want to brainstorm more!
