I came across this article and thought it would spark some thought and discussion. Being the father of a boy and a girl I can attest that there is a difference. We had the option of putting my son in a full day kindergarten class but passed on the opportunity. This would have been too much for him to handle. He needed more down time and time to just run and play. My daugher however was just the opposite. She looked forward to being in class all day.
How does this affect your classroom? Do you plan for the differences in boys and girls? Do you alter your teaching style or do you have students alter their learning style?
