Teacher Tuesday: a few days late!

I'm posting late again this week... time just seems to fly since I've been student teaching! :)

I began teaching my first daily lesson on Monday. It might only be calendar time, but calendar time is full of important little items that children need to learn, including date, months, graphs, money, adding, subtracting, "daily news," and more! The surprise on Monday though, was that the principal decided to stop in on her rounds into classrooms, which made me a little more nervous. She complimented that I did a "great job getting the students started for the day and that [I] had a confident presence." All I could do was contain my nerves and focus on what I was doing!! Thankfully, each day has gotten easier and more enjoyable! :)

Next week I begin teaching writer's workshop... let the fun begin! :)

The kids are so sweet and eager (even despite a few issues we've had)! A smile can make all the difference! :)

Their joke of the day: "What kind of pet does the sun have?" A hot dog :)
         (They think it is hilarious!)

Tomorrow is Friday AND it is heading into a 3 day weekend! :)

The following is the song we sing each morning to reinforce the days of the week!! 

(We sing a closely adapted version) :)
