Great information

I love the concept, but I still have so many questions. The presentation was a quick rundown of what works for one teacher without much reference to how it really looks within a full unit.

While this was more for intermediate grades, this gave me a lot to think about for my 1st grade classroom.

I think it’s a great idea. I would love to see it practically applied. Getting grades, teaching new concepts, start up and planning, etc. This definitely gives me ideas of things I could incorporate.
