School Days, School Days
We are going into our fourth week of 4-K and I am so very proud of each one of my student's. They have already surprised me with their learning. I learned a huge lesson last week with two of my student's. Sometimes we seem to underestimate things and I definitely did with these two, but believe me they proved me wrong. One even brought me to tears as he jumped up and ran to the board and recited an entire poem on our word wall. It wasn't that I thought he couldn't do it but he was just having a hard time settling in and getting adjusted to the change. I learned that every moment is a teaching moment. I had no idea that he was even paying attention to me and he was. What a great lesson learned. The past few weeks we have been learning about ourselves (All About Me) and our school and our school workers. We've been learning the letter P and T, new songs, colors, numbers, finger plays, and so much more. Friday our class had a brownie party as a reward for learning our word wall poem of the week. We added new pets to our classroom. We now have 2 turtles and a hamster named Candy. The children voted and named her themselves. Last week we had an awesome computer donated and we are very excited to start using it. Thanks Mark and Terri Zirlott! We now need more learning cd roms if anyone has any that they would like to donate. Once again a huge thanks to the parents for being involved. We have had so many supplies brought it and I appreciate that so much. If you want to be a part of our classroom activities you are so very welcome to do so. Just contact me and we can schedule something. I am open for all new ideas. I would also like to thank Ms. Bambi for all of her hard work in our classroom. She is always right there when we need her and the children just love her already. Keep checking on here for upcoming news.
