This week, my doctor asked me the nick name I had for my "new crop" of kids. Nick name? Well..I've never had a nick name for my class, so I told him they're my little darlings! They really are! This is our 2nd week of school and we've been busy! From a fire drill to sewer problems, we've covered it all.
This class loves to paint! We've been very impressed with their work.
I have a feeling we'll be painting every week!
This week, we started our calendar math time and started using the Smartboard. It was like magic to them!
Mrs. Robinson says that I'm never in any of the pictures, so she decided to snap one. It was a very exciting time....assessing. It's not my favorite, but I have to do it. I'd much rather be working on a project with the kids.
We learned how to use a pocket chart and matched letters.
We are also practicing how to write using D'Nealian font. I really don't like it, nor do I think it's appropriate for them, but the district says I have to. The kids are catching on.
Working on counting in the math center
We learned to play our 1st game, Memory. It was great practice in taking turns and giving "I-messages" when we didn't like what our friends were doing.
learning to lace in the fine motor center
We had our 1st Tiger Cub of the Week interview. The Tiger Cub gets to pick people from the "audience" to come to the front, to ask them questions.
A former student came to visit us today. He earned $10 in Tiger Cub cash and bought 10 minutes with us. We felt so honored! We loved having him visit, the kids did too! I can't believe he's in 2nd grade.
