Your studnets are so little. How much assesing do you do? I'd imagine that a day in pre-k is full of learning through play & song. Do they learn letter names and sounds, numbers, colors, shapes, etc?...

Hi MrsSR,

You have a beginning ELL. He's obviously had education prior to coming to you, so I'm curious, does he read and write in his native language? Is he on grade level in his native language?...
