We can balance accountability and standards while teaching how young children learn best and remain developmentally appropriate. #DAPK #WeAreMCPS #naeycAP @MarionCountyK12 @ladybugteach26

"We need to keep in mind that children are only months old. Remember children transitioning to kindergarten are only 60 months old. We end up blaming the child or punishing them when they have not yet learned to self regulate" #WeAreMCPS #naeycAC @MarionCountyK12

Thanks for sharing all the great summer learning that our youngest students have the opportunity to participate in!
