Day 10!

Today was the first day back from Spring Break, picture day, and my observation!

The students were not hyper at all! I thought they would be very talkative and not wanting to learn, but they were very calm. I taught most of the morning routine, until my students had to take their pictures. When we returned, I taught my lesson in math. We learned about number scrolls. It was successful! My students were eager to answer questions and were focused on their number scrolls!

During reading groups, I played the apple sight word game with my students. Mrs. Fouts took some students aside to test them for midterms. When she rang the bell to switch, two little boys were comparing how many apples they had. I told them that the point of the game is to understand and read the words, not to have the most apples. The one boy had less and started to cry. I took him in the hallway to get a drink and he drink and calm down. I explained the game to him and told him that he could not cry around me! I said he can only smile. We took deep breathes together and he gave me 2 hugs. After the second hug, he started to smile and giggle! It made me feel so good!

I think Kindergarten is growing on me! :)
