To the editor:
Lucky me! I spent Thursday, April 18, with first grade teacher Lisa Domanski’s students at Triangle School. I taught fractions. They learned about sentence punctuation, differentiated between living and non-living things.
Within their reading groups they incorporated the math, punctuation and science skills. We acted out a story (my particular skill.) Then the students wrote their own stories related to what we had just done.
While Mrs. Domanski & I had time for a team meeting with the other 1st grade teachers, the children spoke Chinese for 40 minutes. All day long they were engaged in learning and discovering. Their teacher had lesson plans, independent work and songs to make transitions between subjects.
Lucky Hillsborough. American education is alive and well here. Come take a day with a teacher and see for yourself!
