The questions asked in the JGB program are wonderful. But we shouldn't ask those kinds of questions JUST to the highly able! All of our kids can't read but the can all think. We need to give them more opportunities to do higher level thinking.

This was for my above kids and I was blessed to have a mom that worked with that group twice a week. It was great because all the higher level work was scribed there. The kids seemed to enjoy having their own special books and I noticed more connections in their discussions too. On Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 11:17 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Elmira!
