 * Allowing students choice to demonstrate their knowledge in multiple ways
 * Keeping students interest by using novelty and multiple means of presentation


 * __ 2 Changes in your teaching __**

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">As a kindergarten teacher, I am constantly differentiating. My students come to me from varied backgrounds and it is up to me to reach all of them…to “level the playing field”. At their young age, their attention span is very short and novelty is key. Therefore, in every lesson, I am striving to use various formats to reach all learners. We are singing, dancing, watching videos, using interactive online activities or engaging in movement activities. UDL is a part of my classroom, without knowing that term. So I don’t believe I will be necessarily //changing// my teaching but rather, continuing to add to my “toolbox”.

I added so many to my [|www.portaportal.com] page!!!

I’m looking forward to printing on sticky notes! I also can’t wait to try using the Mindmapping/ Webbing activities!
