This morning Isabel and I headed to school together. It was only a half day for everyone and I was working in Isabel’s class today because Mrs. Boettcher is out sick. Mrs. Kelso was running the show…
The opening activity was a dot-to-dot of a Pteranodon (ter-ann-uh-don).
We opened class with a the flags/Bible pledge, a lesson on the seasons, months, and days of the week, and prayer. We then proceeded over to the church to view the cake entries for the school fun carnival tonight. The money raised from the sale at the auction will help improve the playground at our school.
Afterward we headed back to class for snack-time before heading out into the gym for P.E. For P.E. we did a few beginning warm-ups, like run in place, arm circles, and jumping jacks. While the kids were being divided up into 2 groups, I helped Mrs. Kelso set up large bowling pins around the gym. The object of the game was for 1 team to knock over the bowling pins and the other team to stand them back up. After a few minutes for running around, the teams switched and whichever team knocked over now stood them up and whichever team stood them up now knocked them over. We did this for about a half hour or so and it was so fun to see the kids working together to get the most knocked down or stood back up.
After P.E. we headed back to the classroom to finish snack-time before heading over to Mrs. Seal’s room for music. The class was in music class for about 30 min. while Mrs. Kelso and I were preparing for a Saint Patrick’s Day lesson/craft.
When the class returned from music class, Mrs. Kelso gave a lesson on Saint Patrick, while explaining how to do our craft. Each of the kids cut out 2 shamrock’s and then we attached them to pipe-cleaners and then a crown. Afterward we had all the kids gather together for a group photo to send to Mrs. Boettcher.
The whole class with their shamrock crowns!
Before heading home, the class had free-choice Thursday (usually on Fridays). Most of the kids colored/cut/taped/stapled with paper, a few did computer games, or played with the dinosaur table.
We were home by 12:30 and that gave me time to eat lunch and relax for an hour before heading back to work to close.
I didn’t get this photo until the next day because of work yesterday afternoon.
