  11. Symbolic Representation: The ability to represent your thoughts concretely.

  12. Take a moment to think... 1. What is this little boy thinking about? 2. What are some ways we can help our own students represent their thoughts? As your child enters kindergarten, they will be asked to use symbolic representation to write reader’s response journals. Having strong symbolic representation skills will ensure they are successful.

Think of additional tips at your tables.
