In reflecting on the various learning styles, I can visualize the students in my classroom who display these learning styles. The suggestions provided are very helpful in providing various activities and mentoring tips for each student. I am thinking of my students who are loners. These students will not make appointments with me. Most often, these are the students who sit at the back of the room. They don't talk. They don't like to be called on. One student said that it takes her a while to come up with an answer because she is analyzing the various types of situations that could be occurring. She struggles with test taking because she reads into the questions, thinking about extraneous variables that may influence her answer.
I am also thinking about my "Integer" student, who asks "why" many times. I love the feedback. It really gets the class to think about it, as I place this back on the class to answer.
I have so many "Touchy" students. I find that these are the students that are the easiest to reach. Maybe it is because I am a "Touchy", as well. I love to come up with interactive activities for them to do. I was the student who hated to be stuck in a classroom for hours, just sitting.
I love the ideas for reaching each type of student. The "secret word" is something I plan to integrate in my classroom as well as the activity with the yarn.
