The End...To a new beginning!!

Well it has been 2 weeks but I finished my student teaching April 19th! It has been so fabulous to be done! To relax get a little more organized! and start applying for jobs. I can't believe that it went by so fast. It seems like just yesterday I was freaking out that I wouldn't get into the program and here I am finished with it! So here is to a new beginning!

Here are a few photos from my kindergarten placement. My kids were hilarious and everyday I realized why I loved my choice of profession! I just can't wait to have my own classroom. So keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I look for a job! If you have any connects for getting me a Kindergarten job let me know!

This is a chart I made to help manage the students a little bit better during their choosing time! They loved having the structure of it!

We were building a growing pattern, based on the book "There Was an

Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly!"

I love this activity for Dr. Seuss's Birthday! They are word families! Made into a Cat in the Hat, HAT!!

This was a final group project! It is a mamma animal and her baby!

This group was working on their final project of the momma animal and babies! Theirs was a duck and duckling! So cute you can see the pond!

I LOVE KINDERGARTEN!

So yesterday I was afraid I was going to seriously hate kindergarten! But today I realized how much I truly love those kids! There is so much I want to do to help them! I can't wait for my future classroom! I have so many ideas! My program director came in today and said to me "welcome back!" I was super confused until she said..."I thought we might have lost you in third grade" probably because I was getting depressed in third grade! I told her my heart is in kindergarten but third grade help me learn a lot about my self! I would love to work in a KINDERGARTEN CLASSROOM! I know that there are not a lot of jobs out there! So if anyone knows of any let me know and talk me up!! Please!

Mean while I am just waiting my time!!

Kids say the darnest things!

* "b-u-t-t do you know what that spells BUTT!!"

* Class question What can you do in the rain? "I can sta in mi house!"

*"I like octagons but not when they make you stop!"

*"Mrs. Young my mom got chocolates for Valentines"

Oh how I could go on!

LOVE THOSE KIDS!!

The Best Teaching Moments!

So my student that is selectively mute, well really she only talks to peers (NO ADULTS) Raised her hand and answered a question today! I was playing a math game shouting out random numbers to add, multiply, and subtract! With every question she raised her hand, which never happens, so I called on her and she answered! TWICE!!! It was fabulous! Plus she wrote me the sweetest note saying that she loves that I spend time helping her with homework! I thought she hated me!! Turns out she likes me teaching her! AHHHH The Best moments of teaching!

Hectic week turns out amazing!! Plus I am not as stressed this weekend!!
