Multiple Intelligences

Today I learned about multiple intelligences. It never really occurred to me how many types of intelligences there are. For example, there are spatial, math/logic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist, music, kinesthetic, and linguistic intelligences. Knowing about what kind of intelligent or combination of smarts a child is, is very helpful because it can help you center activities around the way that child will learn the material. For instance, I found out that I am very kinesthetic (body) smart so anything with movement would be a good way for me to learn something. I think that multiple intelligences is a great way to help the kids out in your classroom!
