Student Development/Diversity
The class for which this lesson was designed is comprised of 24 fourth graders (10 boys and 14 girls). ... There is a student with Dyslexia who is reading slightly below grade level. ... The students ability to understand classifying and labeling objects as well as pulling thoughts together in ways that make sense is very important in this lesson. ...
