Week 2-Day 2- Kindergarten

Ask anyone and they will tell you that I am a freak about planning ahead and being organized. The world of Cassie cannot function without organization and planning. Although I am not as far along as I would like to be, I can say that I have finished writing almost all of my lesson plans for student teaching up until spring break! Woohoo.

I taught another lesson on shapes and which types of shapes roll, slide, and stack. The students loved being able to experiment using manipulatives which is always fun to see. During snack time they were even seeing which food stacked, rolled, and slid. That made me feel warm on the inside =)

During play time, several little girls picked dandelions and gave them to me as a bouquet. I told them they could all be my flower girls at my wedding and they laughed. Letty, my master teacher, said that I have officially won the girls over if they are bringing me flowers. They are pretty cute.



During centers a couple interesting things happened today. First, a little boy started crying as he was writing his letter to the "Tiger Cub of the Week" which is basically just a student that is picked each week to share information about himself and stand at the front of the line. When I asked what was wrong he said he was sad because he has never been tiger cub. Poor fella. During my afternoon class, a kid ran up to me and informed me that he had diarrhea all day yesterday and continued to inform me that he had to get shots in his leg and arm to help him. TMI? Yes, but I used hand sanitizer like a million times more today than ever before and stocked up on emergenC for added vitamins.
