96/180 Nine Minutes of Problem Solving aka Three Phase Math Lesson Continues...

I am just in awe at the growth I see each day.

We may not all be where we "should" be, but...

I have seen some growth in every single child.

Some more than others.

Some social emotional growth,

Some speech and language growth,

Some know how to cut out shapes and use a pencil,

Some can follow the routines of the classroom,

Some have learned to ask for help,

Some can open a milk carton,

Most can write their names,

Most can count to 10, and

All can show kindness.

They play to learn 4x during the day (both indoor and outdoor): Student Directed

We have our structured center rotations once a day: Teacher Directed

Each small group engages in quick activities that develop school readiness skills.

9-12 minutes each since attention span is short!
