I've got Noah's Ark in my tiny groups most years! :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102939630771341497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-53673728355613199282012-03-22T21:24:11.316-05:002012-03-22T21:24:11.316-05:00Snarky, that's a great word and so appropriate...Snarky, that's a great word and so appropriate for that kind of kid. What a challenge to meld this group into a community that will let the kids take risks with their speeches. You can do it. Want to share some of the board play?elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348895330633879894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-22255007818221821322012-03-22T20:57:51.348-05:002012-03-22T20:57:51.348-05:00I especially love the way this slice reflects how ...I especially love the way this slice reflects how much you know about your students. It shows how much you care! And Noah's Ark is such a clever metaphor!Christy Rush-Levinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581876400990779210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-59639363246004524512012-03-22T20:42:35.619-05:002012-03-22T20:42:35.619-05:00Deb, I do not envy you, although through reading y...Deb, I do not envy you, although through reading your SOL, I am sure you can handle yourself well with these kids. I love how you notice the different groups and their antics. <br />I must tell you a side-note funny: being at the elementary level and working closely with our language pathologist, I misunderstood you. I read "Teaching speech the past five years, I have some odd groups of kids. I have the high achieving girls and one bad boy." By the time I read redneck and jock, I thought, "Wait a second. These are some big classes for speech services. What are they doing?" Then I reread. Let's just say the laugh is on me. Just had to share the laughter. :)MaryHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493683144411995592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-29495540236976105852012-03-22T17:30:18.267-05:002012-03-22T17:30:18.267-05:00What a great post and they are very lucky to have ...What a great post and they are very lucky to have you. Yes, you have tagged them as "Noah's Ark" but you rejoice and are realistic about the "groups". It appears from the tone of your writing that each in the ark are precious...and interesting! The smirky faces and twinkling eyes would help me through many days. The ones I would hold close to my heart are the students in special ed. What a class --- OH and eighth hour. I bet you are tired by the end of the hour! A joy to read.

I really like them...but they are always snickering about something!Deb Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861392500601183208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-44274907791764354422012-03-22T16:26:11.998-05:002012-03-22T16:26:11.998-05:00Oh I could sort my students into these groups...I ...Oh I could sort my students into these groups...I wonder what we can do with those deer hunter types.Lee Ann Spillanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650009312001849617noreply@blogger.com
