He loves writing stories about weekend vacations and enjoys retelling books to the class. Noah is also a very strong student in Math. He can explain how you can exchange coins for different coins to have the same amount of money.
“I know that 5 dimes are worth 50 cents because every dime is worth 10 and 5 groups of ten is 50. I also know that 2 quarters is 50 cents, because they are worth 25 cents and 25+25=50.”

“I like to play with my sister at home. I try to be a role model for her! I love all of my classmates. Everyone is my friend! I like to be funny around my friends and tell jokes. I like to make sure that everyone is nice to each other. I like to play with boys that like the same games as me, but also with all of my friends!

10. Relationship to Parents
Noah has a good relationship to his parents. At this stage in Noah’s life, Noah takes pride in his parents’ opinion, but they are not the only authorities. At this age, Noah’s parents are teaching him some responsibility and the importance of trying his best.

11. Adaptation to Learning
“The Spider and the Fly reminds me of Charlotte’s Web and when we had Farm Day! Charlotte was a spider and she caught flies!”
When reading the book about spiders and flys, Noah explains to me that it reminds him of Charlotte’s Webb and Farm Day at our school. He used adaptation to form the existing schema. He assimilated it into his mind by associating the book with another book and experience!

12. Equilibrium
Disequilibrium
“My favorite time that my teacher made us really think about our lesson was when she acted like she was on the phone and she ordered a pizza. She never said pizza but she made us infer that she was ordering one.”
“At the beginning of the lesson, my teacher does “My Favorite No”. This tells us what we will be doing for the day and she helps us find out what we did wrong yesterday.”

13. “With the help of my teacher, my parents, and my school, I will move on to 2nd grade next year a better, more responsible student!”
