Fran, I'm in So Cal as well, so I'm super excited to see what else you have to say and offer up! Will you be doing all the TK trainings for your district? My district has 2 full-time TK specialists/coordinators (not sure what they call them) for this next year. I know the training we will have to go through is going to be pretty intensive (2 full-day summer dates and monthly support meetings, trainings, and I believe weekly collaboration meetings as well.) All TK classes in our district will only be half-day to allow for this kind of structured training. I'm not sure what we'll be doing the rest of the time. I'm very interested in hearing how your district will be implementing the program as well. I'm super nervous (20 November birthday kids in one class???!!!! Yeeoooww--but I'm excited to get the opportunity to try something a little different and not have so much pressure on the poor kids.weetyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291373312952060888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593405645178985306.post-28624696902541856102012-07-24T07:51:38.453-07:002012-07-24T07:51:38.453-07:00Fran . . . what a brilliant idea for a new packet!...Fran . . . what a brilliant idea for a new packet!!!

This packet would be great to use as an intervention for regular kindergarten.
