November

I'm sorry, I have really been slacking with this blog. I was afraid when I started it that this might happen. My weekends have been very busy... But, better late than never!

A lot has happened in the last month. I had the opportunity to observe another Pre-K class in the district a couple of weeks ago, and I got some really great ideas from her. What really amazed me is that she doesn't assign the students to go to certain centers. She puts out a variety of centers and lets the kids choose what they want to do! I plan to try that with my students as soon as I get the extra materials that I requested from my campus. Stay tuned for whether or not it works for my classes!

We have covered so much in the past month that I feel it would be too much to take it all on, so I will just cover the things I remembered to take pictures of in the past week or two. Last Friday we had our school wide Vocabulary Parade. Here are my students wearing their headbands that they decorated. We had already walked through the school and were waiting on the older kids to come by. My friends did such a nice job walking in a line--I was so proud!

We also learned the letter D/d last week, and we made these cute D is for Duck crafts.

We also reached our 50th day of school this past Wednesday, so the kids dressed up as people from the 1950's. Look how stinking cute they are! I wish I had gotten the friend on the left's shoes in the picture--they were white dress shoes and his whole outfit was on point! However, the camera-lady was just 4 years old, so I can't expect too much of her.

I really feel like we are finally getting to the point that every Pre-K teacher has told me about--that wonderful time when all of the students know and meet my expectations 95% of the time, and we just get to play and learn together all day! And SOON SOON SOON we will finally have an aide in the room, which will be such a great help!
