So it's been about a month. My deepest apologies. I promised I wouldn't start a blog and not keep up with it, so my recent lack of writing must be do to one of the following. I've either quit teaching and moved back to CT, or I've been too busy growing the brains of my preschoolers.
While of course I don't have favorite students, if I did have a favorite student, he would have passed his uppercase letters today! The total countdown now:
Learning Uppercase Letters: 9 friends
Learned Uppercase, Learning Lowercase Letters: 3 friends
Learned Uppercase and Lowercase, Learning 10 sight words: 6 friends
Learned Uppercase, Lowercase, and 10 sight words, Learning 20 sight words: 1 friend
My kids are so smart. On a sadder note, you may have realized that the numbers on my list only add up to 19 friends, and not 20. That is because one of my beautiful big kids moved back to Mexico on Friday, so he is no longer a member of our class. Bummer.
Funniest Part of My Day:
Y: "Miss Glass, how come sometimes you're skinny and sometimes your fat?"
Me: "What Y?"
Y: "You know, like some shirts you wear you look skinny and some you look fat?"
Grossest Part of My Day:
I just had a meeting with one of my Headstart bosses, and she was going to make copies of something and bring it into my classroom. So she comes in and starts observing.
Boss: "Which student is P? I was talking to his push in special ed teacher about his language development."
Me: "Oh yeah, I've been so excited about his growth. He's forming complete sentences and actually telling me stories about his life."
Boss: "Well let's listen to him for a minute".
P: "H. H, look at me. I'm farting. See me? I'm farting H!"
Best Part of My Day:
Me: "Friends why do we have to be silent when we're in the hallway?"
A: "Because friends are learning."
Me: "Yeah, you're right. Friends in other classes are learning. If we are talking they can't learn. Why do we want them to learn?"
L: "SO THEY CAN GO TO COLLEGE."
Goodbye Teachers and Friends,
Miss Glass
