Inspire Mathematics Academy

July 17, 2007

Reflect on your expectations and opinions about going to Sandtown Middle School and teaching sixth grade students in the INSPIRE ACADEMY.

Dr. Matthews has gotten me exciting about teaching the six graders at Sandtown Middle School which says a lot because the last thing I wanted to do up to this point was teach a sixth grader. However, I have the impression that these kids are going to be challenging and actually want to learn.

Secondly, the idea of using eight grade standards to teach sixth grade students is going to be interesting. I never really thought about doing that so......we'll see!

what's wrong with 6th graders again? How are they worse than say, 8th graders?

You know, I enjoyed the 8th graders last summer, but now that I've had 6th, I don't think I'd want to teach 8th. You'll like them.
