May 6, 2006 Kindergarten Reflections:

?I didn?t really do anything. The big kids mostly did everything. We hardly did anything except look at books.? - Kindergarten Student

?What could we do to help Rachel?s group work better?? - Kindergarten Teacher

?Is this something Ms. Hurley or Mrs. Keenan or I need to let the groups know that some kindergarteners are ready to do more? Or is this something you might like to try talking to your buddies about without teacher help?? - Kindergarten Teacher

?I think I could try letting them know.? - Kindergarten Student

?What did you think about the size of the groups this morning?? - Kindergarten Teacher

?I have three kids and it?s smaller and it worked good.? - Kindergarten Student

?I was in a big group and it didn?t work really good." - Kindergarten Student

?I was in her group and there were seven, not six and it was a lot. I was getting a little squished. And William kept saying that I should skooch over and I was squished so I couldn?t.? - Kindergarten Student

?Ben and Meghan were right at the computer and I couldn?t see. I couldn?t see at all.? - Kindergarten Student

?Does anyone have an idea of what size group would be best for this kind of work?? - Kindergarten Teacher

?It would be better to have a smaller group so that you wouldn?t feel squished and you wouldn?t feel left out.? - Kindergarten Student

?Okay, do you have a number that you think is a good size for the group?? - Kindergarten Teacher

?Three.? - Kindergarten Student

?I think a good size of the group would be four.? - Kindergarten Student

?So maybe we?ll say that the limit is four? No more than four? Raise your hand if you think three or four in a group is a good size for a group?? - Kindergarten Teacher

Consensus Achieved!
