3rd Grade Learning Style Inventory

Hey! Success! I just found an inventory that looks simple enough for my third graders. It deals with auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:-f-N7B1lB80J:rp.bergen.org/cms/lib01/NJ01001874/Centricity/Domain/117/012%2520Course%2520of%2520Study%2520-%2520Learning%2520Style.pdf+&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjA4wSm7XysOe0FGwOq9t_ra8wjSCN7vxDwu7hwwPgXsTfhBk6ndAYojJD-_9kVHJMyF-Rfaq8xBNsCEaiLYp9ekUpWyvwlkWc7C-O7StiBGv_diYKMRRclWgkqSkWhgiJAhtmz&sig=AHIEtbTPdqPkj4E0112B0NJbbFMtlshREA (I know, very long link. It links to an online sight to see the document. I was able to just download the document straight from my Google Search list. (Searched- “3rd Grade inventory learning styles”) This would give me at least a starting point. Depending on the results I could adjust my teaching to help those students learn in a way they can do their best. At first, I was thinking that I could do different groups depending on their styles. However, I foresee student wanting to do the activity the others are doing. Including all students, but giving them all different opportunities with different styles, I feel is a better idea. I am lucky in that I have a small class. (I started the year with 14, but am now down to 10.) This will be a great year to start to incorporate some different ways to reach my students. Of course, this isn’t possible with everything. Since I am trying to focus on math, I will do that for this. I already know where to start. Assuming that some score as auditory, I will use songs for learning multiples. Usually when I have third graders, I teach them a song that counts by sevens to the Happy Birthday tune. The kids love it, and I have students from past years tell me that they still remember it. It’s an effective first step in learning the x7 facts. My goal will be to find songs for other numbers as well. To incorporate the kinesthetic, I will find (or possibly make up on my own) some moves to counting by other numbers. Possible a head, shoulders, knees, and toes would work easily. This is exciting!
