You
can definitely feel the wrap up of the year on our campus. MAP testing
has begun for Kinders as well as assessment in class in order to report
for final report card/ILP assessments.
Thanks to all who have taken the time to connect with me about the best
fit for first grade. I am sad as the year is ending but so proud to
have witnessed all of the joy in learning that has gone on this year.
You
child may have mentioned that first graders are in our class for about
45 minutes in the afternoon. We as a community who strives to make sure
all students are at their cutting edge
of learning and prepared for their next academic step. Holding true to
that vision, our Montessori first graders are coming in for additional
Montessori support. This is a two fold blessing because they get to
experience our classroom dynamics and the kinders
get a chance to meet potential future classmates in the Lower El
classroom.
