Our class has 32 students, 23 of whom are boys. Approximately half are Gr. 7, the other half Gr. 8. We all come to our class with different abilities and talents, histories, interests, preferences, social groups and 'smarts'.
Our greatest challenge has been noise level. There are many bodies, many voices. There are also differences in opinion, preferences of who we'd like to sit with, external elements we wish we could control (bigger room, less people, specific people to talk or not talk to, more girls, less boys, the list goes on for each individual...).
Today, we discussed that we are a community. The e I commit to creating a positive classroom community and to being part of the solution.
As a group this week, we discussed those concerns.
