The biggest challenges for me were keeping certain students engaged during instruction time and ensuring that the quieter students are equally given chances to participate. I found that standing near distracted students and quietly telling them "hey let's pay attention right now" really made a difference. It also helped learning each individual student's name because it made them each feel seen. This helped the distracted students focus, and helped the quieter students to feel confident enough to lead the group.
One challenge I had today while teaching the 6th graders was keeping them focused on the goal. I helped resolve this by encouraging them and asking them questions.
One challenge I had today while teaching the 6th graders was getting everyone to want to participate in the games, even the people who didn't want to. I addressed this by giving the students different roles in the challenge based off of what they were comfortable with so that everyone could participate and still have fun.
One challenge I faced was trying to keep every one of the kids engaged in the lesson the whole time. I noticed often a few kids would take the "spotlight" and talk the whole time and others just pulled back and disengaged. I addressed this by trying to direct questions or roles to those students who were quieter or less engaged in order to pull them in.
The challenge course lesson is definitely designed to pull out leaders, so I like how you manipulated it to focus on the kids that might be more of followers. Nice work.
A challenge that I faced was trying to keep the kids focused. They were having a lot of fun, which can kind of distract form the importance of the lesson. I addressed this by assuming my role as a leader and bringing the focus back on the lesson by gently reminding them of our goal.
It was hard to keep them focuses and engaged sometimes, I wanted to make sure they all had a good time and no one got left out. I addressed it by asking questions and making them stay quiet.
One challenge was getting everyone to participate, some kids were very shy and did not ant to talk or play the games. To address the challenge I just acted very open and kind, and tried my best to include them and let them feel comfortable to open up around me and everyone else.
One challenge I had was trying to not give away answers but instruct them to think of other solutions. Each group was different and needed something different.

Learning names is a HUGE thing with kids especially with the Nature Names. You are totally correct. It does help keep them more engaged. Nice, Emily

Endless encouragement is sometimes all they need, although that can sound like a lot. Just stay positive.

I like that you controlled the situation by assigning roles. That is a useful tool. Great, Kyra.

Nice job being able to refocus the students and bring their attention back to the challenge. Thanks Alayna.

Making sure students are not left out is a great goal. Thanks Paige.
