100th Day!

Anonymous — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 23:24:42 GMT

Well, it really doesn’t get much better than the 100th day in kindergarten. It’s kind of like Christmas, Valentine’s Day (coming Thursday!), and the Fourth of July wrapped into one. Well, it is in my class anyway. I used an entire bottle of glitter to make this for the doorway: We sang our hearts [...]

Martin Luther, Baby!

Anonymous — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 22:35:01 GMT

Today we made our Martin Luther King models. They are so hard, but also so much fun. I show the kids a finished model and then quickly free cut from construction paper to show them how to make the shapes needed for his face. I then projected a super size photo onto the SmartBoard for [...]

The Season.

I just realized I haven’t made a single post all week. Surely it isn’t because nothing hilarious, devastating, or poignant happened at school all week. More likely, it’s just the season. There seems to be more going on and less time to get things done as the year hurls towards it’s end. Report cards need to [...]

Thankful.

As I said ‘Goodbye’ to my sprouts today, I got lots of hugs and one friend even asked his mom to bring him back to the classroom to see me one more time. Sigh. There is so much I am thankful for this year and truly feel as if my cup runneth over. I am [...]

Leia.

What an awesome day. Returning after a week away, my sprouts were definitely just as excited to see me as I was them. In addition to my return, it was our Holiday Party and the enthusiasm was palpable… the fact that Christmas is only a few days away only added to our festiveness. Donald was [...]

Christmas Countdown.

Today, during Read to Self, Rebecca raised her hand to call me over. We’re not supposed to talk during Read to Self, but she looked like it was eager… “Mr. ______, what’s the date today?” She asked. I wasn’t sure. Being out sick yesterday I hadn’t looked at the calendar yet… “I think it’s December [...]

Cyber Monday?

As the holiday shopping season kicks off, attention has shifted from Black Friday to Cyber Monday… the Monday after Thanksgiving when everyone returns to work and apparently does their holiday shopping online. As I watched the news today and heard about millions of folks sitting at their computers doing their shopping online while at ‘work’ [...]

Dream.

Clearly going back to school tomorrow is on my mind… I woke up this morning in the middle of a very odd dream… I dreamt I took my entire class on a field trip to the American Music Awards. Now, I didn’t watch the American Music Awards when they were on a few weeks ago, [...]

Turkey Surprise!

Oh the day before a week off (to be clear, I don’t have the week off, but the kids do). There’s a little crazy excitement in the air and you just can’t quite contain it… Here are the highlights from my last day of Thanksgiving fun: After Quiet Time, when Will woke up from falling [...]

Sick Chicken.

Well, apparently all the Vitamin Water and Airborne won’t keep you healthy when you have kindergarteners coughing and sneezing directly on you. Seriously, with all the lessons on covering our mouths, in the heat of a cough or sneeze, they just sometimes forget… but I digress. With almost no voice from a rotten sore throat, [...]
