The past two years have been very difficult with many students not starting school knowing a single letter or even able to recognize their own name in print. I have been in holding pattern since June 20th when I was told I may move to third grade. I was elated at being told I would remain in Kindergarten on August 10th! Kindergarten is not an easy grade to teach………………none of them are. But that being said five has always been my favorite age, there is something magical in a five year olds imagination. They’re all so unique without any idea what peer pressure is or sense of conformity to fit in but still very much uninhibited and full of excitement at coming to school. I love that! I love school always have.
All that being said and my fear of blogging has kept me trapped in Word world but I better get these lessons posted. It just seems so strange to me to put something out there that will be there forever! What if I mess up!! Get over it right! OK, I'm over it!!!
Maggie,
ReplyDeleteThere is something magical about 5 year olds imagination. The way they view their surroundings and interact with one another is fun to watch. So, much happens developmentally during the kindergarten year. What is a typical day like in a kindergarten classroom these days? How many students do you have? What type of data do you collect?
If you mess up blogging or leave something out there is a little button that looks like a pencil. That's the edit button. You can always go back and make changes!
And there a trash can icon for garbage!
