Friday marked the last day of the 3rd quarter. WHAT?? We are in the home stretch of our last quarter together in Kindergarten. I say it every year and will say it again, time flies. This time of the school year marks one of my favorites. Each quarter has it's high points but this quarter is an exceptionaly fun one to be a Kindergarten teacher. I see my students writing stories using spaces, good letter formation and most importantly getting their ideas down on paper and having fun doing it. Their eyes light up when I sit with them and read their writing out loud. They love being writers and although they were writers on the first day of school, their writing looks different now and is more developed. The kiddos are reading books and using strategies to solve unknown words and are questioning what they read. One of the best things is watching them be good friends to one another and develop those friendships that play such a big role in who they grow to be.

AuthorI have been teaching for 16 years, 16 of them at my home away from home at a great school in north east WI. I love teaching and spending my days with 5 and 6 yr. olds. They make me laugh, (sometimes cry) but always ready to give me a hug at the end of the day. CategoriesArchives
