12 Differentiation Differentiation
All children are unique and therefore many of them are at different instructional levels. It is my responsibility to work with every child to help them excel at his/her own pace. This might mean that some students may be learning concepts different from his or her peers. With this type of teaching, you can be sure that your child will have their individual needs met.

13 Assessments AIMSWEB/ MAP Fall, Winter, Spring Report Cards November, March, June Children in kindergarten will be assessed by their teacher to determine their readiness skills. These assessments will be given throughout the year to help track progress, plan instruction, and determine who may need additional support or enrichment within the classroom.

This is why I ask that you please provide your child with an extra pair of play clothes to be kept at school. As the year progresses, keep in mind that you might need to change out this pair of clothes as your child grows or the weather changes. If you child happens to use their extra school clothes, please send a new pair as soon as possible. *Please send your child’s extra school clothes in a labeled, gallon size zip loc bag!  Extra Clothes On occasion, children may have minor accidents at school in which clothes might become wet or dirty.
