My students are so excited to not have to go to school for the rest of the year! This week, there are a lot of crafts going on in the classroom. The students made ornaments out of their finger prints (they were supposed to be snowmen), drew a santa clause with their handprints, and many more! On Friday, the very last day of school for the year, we are having a hot chocolate social where the kids bring in a holiday mug and we fill them up with marshmellows and hot chocolate packets and the kids trade their cups with each other! One of my students even gave me an ornament that was a silver snowflake that had a rustic feel to it that was so beautiful! My students, Mrs. Anderson, and I cannot wait for the holiday break!
I have never met anymore rambunctious, off task children in my life! This past week they have been nothing but hyper-active students! They were so bad on Thursday that Mrs. Anderson had to yell at them, and my kids are never that bad. They got a total of 5 moany groans this past week and I just hope that they are a little bit more focused next week!
This week I had the pleasure of being with my kids 3 times! This week I taught a group of students how to edit their sentences while they were doing their Journal Center. I have noticed a change in some students. Alex, for example, is begining to behave and follow directions, while Parker always seems to be in la-la-land. Cash is still the same rambunctious little boy, doing air guitar whenever he has the chance, but I've noticed that if you are helping him 95% of the time, that he behaves correctly and doesn't feel the urge to act out.
Since this week we only had one A day and I had a dentist appointment that day, I didn't get to see my kids before the holiday break. Although I didn't get to see them, I am positive that they were all energetic and couldn't wait to get out of school.
