Knowing the backgrounds and experiences of our students will help us be able to spot problematic areas in learning and/or behaviors. A child's background and experience plays a very important part in a child's academic performance, confidence, response to school classroom settings, and how much they are exposed to in reference to what is used in a classroom setting. A survey can help an educator on what strategies to use to promote development in a child without discouraging the child. According to our text "Knowing and understanding our students stimulate more engaging, relevant learning and more highly motivated learners".
Using the responses in these surveys. I created an activity that will be conducted in a 4th grade class.
The purpose of this activity is to have the students share information about themselves with their peers and learn something new about their classmates. For the children to build a sense of comfort with their teacher.
The parents survey will be taken into consideration when creating lessons and/or intervention lessons.
Knowing the group dynamic is definitively a major factor in classroom management. Understanding a child's background can also be useful when creating a seating chart. Seating charts should be organized to help those students with special needs and with our behavioral challenged students. Changing our seating chart continuously (once a month) is important to keep our students engaged. Plus they get the opportunity to work with other students in group or partner assignments/activities.
Creating lessons based on students interests (based on students survey answers) will lead to engagement and motivation from the students and a decrease of behavior issues.
Grade level: fourth grade
Time duration: 30 minutes
Objective: Each student will have an opportunity to learn at least one new thing about another student and also share at least one important fact about themselves.
Practice: reading comprehensive and communication skills
Background: Prior to this activity, students will have completed their survey and important facts survey

Parent involvement plays a huge role in a child's life. A child's performance is measured by parents attendance at a general meeting, a meeting with a teacher, or a school event, and volunteering or serving on a committee.
Statistics states that students with parents who are involved in their school tend to have fewer behavioral problems and better academic performance.
Parents who are involved in their child's school can monitor the school and classroom activities. Parents can coordinate with the teacher to encourage acceptable classroom behavior and ensure that the child completes schoolwork.
