This was a blog entry by a kindergarten teacher that went into details about how one could help each student at different levels advance in the classroom. The blog went into great detail about not teaching every student at the same level when some should be advancing further. She suggested that the teacher create lessons that had activities that would reach all her students at different academic levels and learning habits (kinesthetic, spatial, musical...). Pre and post-assessments would be used to understand what the students know, and the teacher should then group the students with students at similar levels, not mixing the levels. She also suggested that at the beginning of the year the teacher makes note of where the student is in their education, how he or she learns best, and what goals they have for the student. The main point of the article was to teach each student in the way they needed, and letting those who were excelling to advance. The information in this blog was interesting to read. It had suggestions for teachers in their classroom, and the suggestions were explained with examples. It was easy for me, a new-to-teaching-student, understand what the idea was by the simple examples given. The blog was interesting, and makes me believe the rest of her hopes could be helpful. This source was very helpful in my research as it took what I learned from the Multiple Intelligences article and showed how to integrate it into a classroom, and why that was important. I will now be able to take this knowledge into Ms. Beneke's classroom and think about how she is differentiating the lesson for students of all academic levels.

This article introduces the idea of Multiple Intelligences in a classroom. It describes this as the categories that students have strengths of learning in. This article lists the typical behaviors and traits the students in the eight different intelligence categories. The categories are linguistics, mathematical/logical, musical, visual-spacial, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, and naturalist. This source was helpful because it was very straightforward. It used easy to understand language, and it was brief. The information seems accurate. I also enjoyed this source because if gives you links to Multiple Intelligences tests to determine your strength. It felt reliable, as the motto of the domain is "advice you can trust", plus it looks directed to teachers. This source was extremely helpful to understand my mentor's teaching style. I began to notice that she taught the class's lesson in a few different ways. I can now use my knowledge to understand what intelligence she is aiming at, and then try to fit the student with the activity. This information will help me understand both the students and Ms. Beneke more.
