Next message: Christine Collier: "Re: RE: [Teacher-talkinquiry] Extending Kits To Do Inquiry"
Sandra,
I believe I'm in a rather unique spot with all this. Here, we have half-day
kindergarten...2-1/2 hours a day. This makes things really "cramped" when
trying to get it all in and meet state req.'s as well as district goals and
req's.
Good luck getting it all done.
Gee Gee
