A February Week...

Happy Saturday everyone =)

I started my special education placement at Kendall Elementary in a 6:1:1 classroom and I LOVE it!!

It has been such a blessing so far.

I gave the kids a survey/questionnaire.

Responses that made me smile:

What is your favorite subject? Dismissal

Tell me something interesting about yourself:

 I have 4 brothers and 2 sisters. (He is actually an only child)

Another response to the same question was:

I half like school. (very cute)

I started this "Ideas for the Classroom" notebook-that is what is written in red that's on the inside.

I'm dividing into sections literacy; social studies/science; and websites/class themes and misc. ideas.

I already have a ton one theme idea(s). I think it would be cool to every month focus on a different culture and we can connect all the subjects that way. We can read a book having something to do with that culture, watch movies, write about it, I can bring in food from that country if possible and decorate the classroom to illustrate that culture. It's all about inquiry these days because of not enough time in the day (that's a whole 'nother edu. topic) anyway I just get really excited about these things.

I made another batch of Cheesy Vegetables yesterday for dinner.

I also threw together a Lemon Syrup Cake.

I spent time with my little cousin Daniel this morning. My aunt asked me to babysit for a little while. He is such a good boy and I loved being with a baby again. Poor boy got kissed way too many times ;)

Blessings,
