My Blog that I was assigned to was Becky Goerend .She is a fifth grade teacher from Iowa. Her blog was about how the Common Core wording is not child friendly language. She talks about how the wording is too advanced for students and it’s not always clear to them what is expected. In order for her class to understand it they broke it down and reworded it so they could understand.
I agreed that the progress report used words that children may not understand. When words like that are used it can cause confusion among the students. I think that the text should be written in a way students understand clearly.
Summary Post 2
Becky did a project with her class where every student had a strip of paper. On these strips they wrote a talent that they had. After every student had written their talent they put them together to make a chain. She did this to show that they all have unique strengths.
My comment was I think this is a great idea to do within a classroom. This shows students that they all have special talents that they can offer. Sometimes with student they think they have nothing to offer but this shows them that this is not true. This makes them feel like they are important, which is a good quality because sometimes they don’t feel important at home.
