[MOSAIC] (Mosaic) Differentiating Work Stations

[kimberlee hannan]

I agree with you, Mary.  I taught 5th and 6th until two years ago.  I teach
7th now.  However, I think if I had the little people, I'd do the same
thing, just at their level and model, model, model!  They can still make
charts and diagrams together with T.  They can paste or draw math answers or
whatever.  They can still write what they learned or questions.  I don't
expect you would need to "do" a whole lot differently for the little
people.
