Ms. Britton demonstrates more confidence and maturity this spring. She arrives each morning ready to tackle whatever is required and assist with preparations. She shows initiative in the classroom, takes actions to prevent squabbles among children and interacts pleasantly with co-op students, EA's, planning time teachers and our SERT.

Comments (Please elaborate on strengths/areas for growth): Because this week was a culmination of our "letters of the week", most planning was already completed in advance. Kim's lesson included a detailed "modeling" of how to draw a self-portrait for our class alphabet book. The childrens' drawings indicated that they understood her instructions well. Kim set up the classroom environment and selected appropriate resources (Rd. Dr. Seuss' ABC, showed DVD Chica Chica Boom, Boom ABC).
