During the our last week with the kindergartners before Christmas break, Kate and I did a lot of assessment.

For example, the student sees the number 4 and the “4” in 14 as the same number, not fully comprehending the meaning of the number 14. [...]

Today, I ended up working with one of our students for the first time. He had not been at school the other times we had pulled out students individually or in small groups. When I pulled him out in the small group, I did not know what level he would be at. Since I wasn’t [...]
