Summary
I have spent 23 years in both 1st and 2nd grade classrooms with students of varied backgrounds, abilities and personalities. This was to be expected as every child is different and has different needs. As a result, lesson planning and presentation varied from year to year based on classroom need. Instruction was presented in a safe and caring environment in whole group, small group and individual instruction as needed for student success.
