Differentiation K-2
K-2 Teachers
Each group of teachers will be meeting all day. Teachers are requesting ways to differentiate groups (both high and low) during the regular instructional day. With the high group, we are trying to find ways to enrich the student grade level content knowledge without accelerating them to the next level of mathematics.
