My family experience with twins is nil, but I have had some unique experiences with them in the classroom over the years.

Imagine for a moment…American classrooms full of students who can read their textbooks fluently, with teachers happily educating students in the subjects they enjoy teaching and not worrying about how to adapt the content to large number of students who cannot read at grade level. It CAN happen!

        My biggest daily problem then was that at least half of my students could not read anywhere near grade level, and I had no idea how to teach them to read.

Just enjoying the music, the movement, hardly teaching at all. What a wonderful break Snow Dancing was!
