Holy Behavior Issues, Batman! - Ep 88 - Chaotic Harmony Podcast

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? 
Spiccato: What Do You Meme?
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?
