You're not that Old!

So I've started my new teaching assignment and I have to say I don't like ... I LOVE IT!!

I have been told by parents that I look younger than I am hahah more on my age later, but I have got to say:

The kids are amazing little learners who try so hard and are so thirsty for knowledge.
The parents are such awesome mommas and daddies who are ready to cut, glue, copy or create at any moment's notice.
The principal is great gives me lots of reassurance and is easily available. I feel like I can talk to her via email no matter what time of day just about anything!

The theme for the first week was of course snowmen! it was wonderful to count, read about, write about and even make a snowman!

This is from my lovely Kindergarten Friend's class I forgot to take a pictue of mine. 

This is also from my lovely friend's class. She teaches a K-1 Combo and this is one of her 1st Grader's letter to a snowman. isn't it precious? 

 The second week was all about penguins

 This is a lovely penguin pattern that I got from THIS lovely teacher. I created the writing using the sight words and color words that we have gone over using Microsoft Word and ABC Print font. 

This penguin is my Kindergarten friend's creation. I showed her a picture of a penguin on my Pinterest page and she loved it so much she recreated it on the fly. We attached our All About Penguins book and her 1st graders wrote all they knew about penguins. Isn't this little shorty Adorbs????

. 

 Finally, this is my winter writing. Again, using the sight words they already know and incorporating a bit of "sounding out" and my kiddos created a wonderful piece of writing. 

I love Winter and all it brings. Next week, my kiddies will be learning about weather and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and, of course, everyoone's favorite The Mitten. 

I'll post more later. This little teacher is soooooo TIRED!!! 

I finished my 2nd week of grad school and let me tell you. It ain't pretty. 

BUUUT, before I go I have to tell you a fun little story from my first day back in college. 

I was sitting in class and after talking to a girl who clearly had just graduated and was pursuing her teaching credential immediately after graduation. So the conversation initially was about class and how we liked it. 

Then, she told me her major was in history and how she was pursuing a single subject credential. Then she asked me what my major was and I was like "well, I graduated with a Liberal Studies Bachelor back in 2004 and currently have a multiple subject credential." Her eyes grew so wide I could see white all around her pupils. Then, she said "Oh my God! You don't even look that old!" 

I was like oh, Thank you....I think hahah 

Well, that's all for now. 

Good night!
