Am I ready to move in to the next grade level? A good question, and one I am going to answer in this post. Based off of the marks I see, no I am not ready too move on. But what is ready? Is it good grades, or is it an understanding of the curriculum because for kindergarten math: I needed to know what 5+5 was. It was how I knew 5+5 was 10 that would dictate my grade. But if I knew that, but didn’t know how to explain it in the way that was expected, I might get a lower grade. That is why I think that I am ready to move on to the next grade level. Because I think that I like to say what happened instead of what I think happened. My way of reflecting is more in my mind than on paper. By saying what happened, I reflect on my own, but I don’t add that to the blog. And I think that for future years I’m going to have to learn how to do that. But for now, I’m ready to move on.
Thank you for listening/reading.
