We’ve said it before- our upper elementary students are COMPLETELY different than their lower grade counterparts. We almost have to become a completely different person when we teach 4th-6th graders. What does that look like for us? What are we working on to engage them?

Round: To Ope Their Trunks

Why are upper graders so different?

What happens that makes them so self conscious- puberty, afraid of friends, ego-centric, social media, higher rates of anxiety

BUT they are still little kids

What no longer works- they will NOT be treated like little kids (unless it’s on their terms- requesting old activities in 5th grade with super passes)

OMG they don’t stop talking

Why centers?

What does that look like?

How to form groups- you get to choose 1 partner, I choose the rest of the group

What kind of activities?

How do you set it up?

What’s the goal?
