  I am still struggling with how to use my intervention time. So many of the students that I would like to work with are already being pulled out during this time. It is very hard to find activities that meet the needs of the students in my class during that time.

  I have done a better job this year at differentiating homework. It is still a work in progress. I did have a student tell me that he felt dumb when I handed him a different sheet for homework. so I told him why I had and told him he could pick the worksheet or the workbook - it was his choice. I though this was interesting.

  I have managed to make it a more effective time but it is still a struggle feeling like not all the students are getting their needs met. I want to meet the needs of the low achieving students but I have average to high students who struggle with certain skills that I need to address as well.

  I create a lot of centers in my classroom. I have noticed that the older students don't like to be considered different. I will usually give out the same sheets as the other students, but ask certain children to do a quarter or half. For my students that go above and beyond, and get bored quickly, I have them do an individual project.

  One of the challenges I have is with flexible grouping - it's difficult (yet imperative) to change groups as often as I should.

  During reading class time, it is easier to successfully group students based on levels rather than based on interests/learning styles, etc....but it is also difficult to keep the groups fresh and motivated if continually grouping by levels/ability groups.

  During the differentiated lessons I have planned I feel as though the children are being taught on there levels. Some times I can pull the same activity for all the groups and do three completly different lesson and sometimes I have to change the skill activity comepletly . I feel much more adequate in diffeentiating during the language arts block as opposed to the math block. More often than not I teach math as whole group.
