Aluminum Foil Boats Race Day!

Today was another fun day of Summer School. I'm really getting the hang of this multi-age group thing. And today was Race Day, the day we've been working toward all week! I'm pretty sure that I was just as excited as the kids (maybe more). After spending the school year so focused on our state standards of learning and standardized testing, it is such a breath of fresh air to educate (and learn) without all of the pressure. 

Summer School Centers & Math Project

This week I have been working in Summer School, which has been a great experience. This year I'm working with kindergarten through second grade students. After working with 4th grade this year it has been a surprising and fun experience. I have to say that the week is going really well -- with the exception of one child's injured hand because she tripped on her flip-flops. Other than that it has been a dream.

Since I'm working with different age and ability groups I'm doing a combination of literacy centers/small groups and whole group activities.
