Assessments!!!
I should have done this the first day! I was using my gut feeling and it led me nowhere for 2 weeks! .. and then boom! Assessments!!!
Now, I know in a batch, I have at least 3-4 groups of different levels! Wow huh? Yep! I will need to find a common ground and then move them to groups! Now, I am seeing a difference in their performance... now, I see less issues, because it isn't too hard for them, it isn't too easy.. but just at their level.. and some pushing to their limits along the way.
After almost a month of trial and errors, studying learning styles, working on strategies and teaching techniques.. now, I feel I got it! It is hard work! and I've never worked this hard, promise! Lol! But, I love the changes I am seeing from my little ones. I am strict and entering my room means be ready to learn! Oh boy, you've to see how excited they are, not! Lol! but I feel accomplished seeing their progress at the end to the day.
Oh, it will take a lot more from me and from them to get to the point we all want to be at. There will be more complaints, tantrums and time-outs, but whatever it takes to get there. I am ready. I am here to stay. I will make them learn. Period.
... and I thank God for one week break! Lol!
