Welcome to the Bumblebees! We have gotten off to a terrific start, anxious to "discover" the world around us. Over the past two weeks, I have been assessing each child's reading, math and writing skills and developing plans and forming groups to better deliver the instruction they need at the appropriate level. This week we also added a new assistant to our class, Ms. Katy. She has many years experience with young kids, and has already been amazed at the things the Bumblebees say and do. The kids are also very comfortable with her.
Below are some snapshots of what we are doing. Currently it looks a lot like play, and those opportunities give students chances to form friendships and I get an chance to informally assess their critical thinking skills, vocabulary and problem solving.
