This week was similar to all, on Monday i did a bunch of copies for the fourth grade teacher and numbered them all, just prep work. It really shows me how much is truly into having a classroom of your own. I also, really enjoy her company!! On Tuesday I helped the kindergarten teacher and kids with their spelling. They were really trying to write super sentences!!! (hence the theme being superheros) In order to do this, they need a capital letter in the beginning of every sentence, finger spaces between every word, and a punctuation at the end of the sentence. One little boy wrote "I love miss autumn" it melted my heart!!! The one Disney rule that most stands out to me is the height requirement! I think this is so unfair and should honestly be illegal. To me it almost feels as if discrimination. Just because you're taller than 5'8, or shorter than 5'4 you cant be a Disney princess? thats absurd. Every girl is a princess and deserves to not feel less than another because of their height, Disney should be sued for this. The world wonders why females have such insecurity issues and then big known services as being a Disney princess does this, and its a prime example of why some do. Its pretty much telling someone they're not good enough. I am 5'5 so this doesn't account to me, which means i strongly believe this for others.
This week was very short but still very interesting, on Thursday I was at the kindergarten class and while mrs was introducing the centers for the day I was very surprised and pleased that she was teaching a brand new way of how to solve addition problems. I was so impressed that the kiddies totally understood for the most part and we're adding as if it was nothing!!! It was so cute and is shocking to see how far they truly have come since the beginning of the year! Each and every one of them have grown so much and adapted to school and rules. They were all so excited to see if they got the problems correct or not and if they did they were pleased with themselves as well. On Friday I was in the fourth grade classroom and I was assigned to copy 26 pages of hw out of the teaching book and then copy packets of review for the section. Trying to figure out the copy machine and how to do it correctly was a little overwhelming but I figured it out with help of others. After all the copying I went back to the classroom and numbered each 26 papers of the 10 lessons I was assigned to print out and then number the packets. When it was time to leave the teacher couldn't believe I got it all done! She expected me to have to come back the next day and finish but I got it all done! While I was there Friday there was a code red practice drill and since I've been there nothing has changed the fourth graders have all the right safety procedures down! I was very interested as to how the kindergartens did, being new to it and all. I guess I will find out Monday!!
This was a very big week for the kids, it was the 100th day of school this week! for the fourth graders its not too exciting but for the kindergartners they adore it! We made them all hats out of construction -paper and had them color 10 rows of 10 blocks on each for 100 days, and printed out a sign that says "100 days smarter" it was so cute how something to me thats very little was so exciting to them. Their jump rope for heart assembly was on Friday also, and they all passed out valentines for valentines day on Sunday. I was in the fourth grade room, and got some candy and valentines from them. It was so cute and sweet!!! That day i mostly prepped for the teacher. Thursday, which was the 100th day of school Mrs. asked the students parents to bring in 100 things of something like pennies, cotton swabs, or such. Many parents choose food, so when it was time that Mrs wanted them to lay out 10 groups of 10 they couldn't help themselves but to eat some of their 100th items and it was so funny when they were realizing they didn't have enough because they ate them. Its clearly not funny they couldn't follow directions, but i just thought it was so funny. One kid even ate another persons snack and goes "im sorry i couldn't help it" it was just too hilarious and adorable.
List of things that make me happy: Animals, Gabriella (my baby cousin), My work (sometimes), Food (always), my classes I teach at, family, money, love. This week has been the same as most. To start on monday i did kindergarten again with the guest teacher and same as tuesday except Mrs. was back. They had library time and all of them got very cute books that i remember when i was in elementary there. On wednesday i was in the fourth grade class, and i did alot of copying for the teacher, she actually showed me how to work the machine alot better, she showed me how to have packets come out of the machine already stapled which i thought was very cute. On thursday i was back in kindergarten where we did counting centers, and i actually got to do one on one with a student who was struggling a little, when he finally got it i felt so accomplished!! it was such a nice feeling, for my letter i think im going to ask the principal for a letter of recommendation, just because i know my kindergarten teacher has already wrote me one.
