1. Just Like Me I like it quiet when I work. I like to listen to music when I work. I like my teacher to joke around sometimes. I cannot learn when people distract me. I like to work with a partner. I would like to use technology to make learning more fun. I would like some kind of reward for making good choices. I learn better when the lesson is in a game format. I would like make some posters to help decorate this classroom. I know how to keep myself focused and not distracted.
