Tales of Kindergarten
Circle Time
Our Classroom - 23 StudentsThis week the students arrived for their first day of school! The Elementary school students all began on Tuesday, yet the kindergarten students arrived 2 days later on Thursday. The first day was full of emotions. Many of the children were overwhelmed with their new home for the next year. Several of the children were nervous and missed their parents, yet others were excited to be in kindergarten.
Thursday and Friday were hard days. There are three "adults" in the classroom with the 23 children. Mrs. Swann is on host teacher, Mrs. Ferguson is the aide, and myself. We have worked on our "tag-team" method for managing the classroom. This include 5 groups trips to the bathroom everyday, going to and from lunch and specials, and other classroom activities.
I am excited to see the students grow over the next 4 months and become more comfortable in a classroom setting. I cannot wait to see them become learners and find a joy in learning.
Tomorrow is a new day for the students and we will have to continue to teach the young students the ways a classroom operates and how to interact with other children. It is going to be a fun and challenging week!

Good luck this week! I don't know if you're at 100%. There's so many details on the k-level, it boggles my mind. there's a lot of expertise going on in a Kindergarten classroom.
I'm in Baltimore this coming weekend, working on an AR book project. Back Sunday.
Kristin,
Now that you have met your class, what do you think will be your biggest challenge this semester?
Mrs. Morris
Kristin,
Whew! The days and seconds fly by when you are having fun? I read over your action research again this evening. I'm hoping that we can discuss the details during planning tomorrow. If not, maybe we can stay after school one day this week. See you tomorrow!
