"The principle goal of education in the schools
should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things,
not simply repeating what other generations have done.”

Documentation of children's work in progress is viewed at Walgrove as
an important tool in the learning process for children, teachers, and parents.
- It gives parents a way to view
their child’s work in the classroom and gain a
deeper idea of what their child is learning, creating a strong connection between families
and the classroom.
- Documentation
helps children develop self-esteem and a better sense of who they are
when they see their work reflected back through pictures, video and
transcriptions. When they are able to revisit and share their work
with their peers, they create collaboration and exchange of ideas.
- Pictures of students engaged in experiences, their words as they discuss what
they are doing, feeling and thinking, and the children's interpretation of
experience through the visual media are displayed as a graphic presentation of
the dynamics of learning.

Kristen Ann Explains Inequalities
“You do least to greatest. That means you do from the smallest number to
the biggest number. Another meaning of
less than is smaller than. We used the
‘less than’ symbol, which is an arrow that that is facing the left side. You know which numbers are bigger by looking at the
digits. In the thousands place every
single number had 3, so we had to look in the hundreds column. If the hundreds were the same, you had to
look in the tens place. If the tens
place is the same, you look in the ones place.
If all the digits are the same, the number is equal.”
- Kristen Ann (Third Grade)
