"I thought transcribing the Kinders journals was tough! Wow, that letter was something. All those swirls and half formed letters made it very difficult. Even after transcribing the letter, setting it down and going back to it there were some words…"
"I have taken different types of learning style quizzes every year over the last 6 due to being a mentor. The first time we meet each other is in a group setting and we take the quiz to make sure we know how the mentee/mentor is approaching things. …"
"With teaching primary grades I spend much of my time explaining what Data Analysis is and what steps are involved to successfully gather information. I explain that the two main steps are:
