Little Professors
Mrs. Montgomery's Kindergartners have taken over the teaching in their classroom on Fridays. The children spend the week being read to, with, and by their parents from a book they take home from school. They plan and execute a project to share with the class that has to do with what they read or some other subject of interest. They give a step-by-step report to the class. Pictured are examples of this valuable language experience enjoyed by the Kindergartners:
Olivia Keller taught about bugs.
