[quote=Anonymous]Wow. In our K class last year, there were many, many opportunities for kids to work to their abilities. For example, they spent part of every day "journaling" where they would draw a picture on a certain subject and write about it. Like family, or a trip I took. So kids could do more or less elaborate drawings and write more words and sentences if they were able. They had several different reading groups for different levels. Even math concepts like "ways to make 10" were done in many different ways (coloring in the correct number of cats on a worksheet, counting out the correct number of marbles, and cutting and pasting the correct numbers of pieces of string) so that kids were constantly using different fine motor skills. This was a DC public charter school, BTW.[/quote]
