Although the first graders had work plans in Primary, they are getting used to how to manage their more complicated Lower Elementary work plan. When they received their first work plan, they were paired with an older who student who helped walk them through how to plan their week. Our second and third graders got a chance to be the experts, sharing their strategies about how to make the most of their time. This is one of the many benefits of mixed-age classrooms—we have built-in mentors for nearly every task!
