New Job Orientation

Today was my new job orientation. It was scheduled for 3 hours but we actually got all the areas covered early.

My official job title is Substitute Teacher.

I am on a 90-days probation. The school needs to get a “feel” of my working abilities and I need to get a “feel” of where I fit at the school. I will be in the classroom with a lead teacher. There is plenty of work already, so I look forward to actually getting into the classroom with the kids. I will be working with 3 and 4 year-old in the pre-school program.

Kindergarten: Day 101

What a wet rainy day! Sometimes the rain came down hard, sometimes the rain was soft, but mostly the rain just came down! The weather looks to be wet for the next several days and on into the weekend. How does your weekend look ahead?

Today was Thursday and the means P.E. Isabel says she doesn’t like Thursdays and P.E. because she gets hot and sweaty. With the rainy day outside, P.E. was held in the gym today. Isabel said they played a game called “quicksand”. The gym floor was “quicksand” and along the way there were hula-hoops spaced out across the floor. Each of the kids and to make their way across the “quicksand” without falling in. Isabel said she fell in the “quicksand” once and had to sit out of the game for awhile. Otherwise she sounded like she had a fun time… and didn’t mention anything about getting hot and sweaty!

Nothing else was mentioned about the day, other then a disciplinary issue in the classroom.

The opening activity was a dot-to-dot counting to 20. Very cute!

I don’t know why Isabel didn’t complete her work again today…
she said she had to go P.E. and didn’t get to finish.

Back: “Dd” practice writing.

Tomorrow the class will be celebrating Wednesday’s 100th day! Some of her classmates have already taken their 100 items to class. I’ve seen macaroni and pennies. I can’t wait to hear about the other items that are brought to class!

In honor of tomorrow’s 100th day celebration, Mrs. Boettcher read the book “Miss Bindergarten Celebrates the 100th Day of Kindergarten” by Joseph Slate. Looks like a great way to prepare the kids for 100th day!
