I really appreciate her efforts to get all of her students caught up in basic subjects which they may have missed out on learning about earlier on. The alphabet, for instance, is something many kids learn in kindergarten or sometime around that. These kids, however, may not have received proper if any education on the subject.
Grand Idea: Put together an alphabet museum for the kindergartners. Each fifth-grader was assigned a different letter every day for which they'd bring in objects they can find which start with their letter for "show-and-tell" for the museum visitors.
Madam Codell sure does like to kill multiple birds with one stone!
She reads aloud to her kids the book, The Hundred Dresses, as they all listen intently and even grow closer to eachother now that they have some common ground with one another...
Hmm...force kids to have common ground thus making bonds between them all through reading aloud to them. What a novel idea!
