Lesson+Plans

// Welcome, //
====// My name is Mrs. Cyndolia Perry. I am currently teaching 6th grade at Irwin Intermediate School. As a teacher, my goal is to plan, organize, and present information that helps students to learn subject matter and develop skills that contribute to their educational and social developments. //==== ====// Each student learns diffferently. Some students require a hands on approach to learning, while some students may learn visually; excelling when they can read or see pictures. Finally, some students learn best through listening; learning best when they can hear or discuss a problem. Furthermore, all students are talented in their own ways. Teaching requires individualized and differentiated learning in order to meet the needs of all students. Students are placed in one of three categories (high, medium, and low) according to their learning abilities. //====
