(If you've never read a Junie B. Jones book, you wouldn't get the subject line. So, I cracked myself up. LOL) This morning I talked to 25 first graders about writing. I love kids. They're fresh and energetic and quick-thinking. The student teacher told me that this class's favorite place in the room is the writing center. I had them do an exercise and describe the student teacher. It was fun -- and a little wild & crazy. They are first graders, after all.
Blogspot hasn't been letting me upload images this week. This is the only one I've gitten to go through.
I think being able to write and to express yourself well is so important. I wish I was better at doing that. I'm glad the kids like the writing center.

I've always liked talking to first graders. They say the funniest things.

Glad pic came thru--I was a Reading Assistant for 28 students K-4th 3 yrs ago so know of Junie B, but appreciate the heads up as the reference slipped by me without it! I felt so fortunate that 3 students had really BIG break thrus in their reading abilities and most made good progress. Reading and writing are so KEY to life.
ReplyDeleteKids are wonderful-so forgiving & loving. Am at Headstart for my 3rd year: LOVE art-coloring, painting, working with playdoh; singing nursery rhymes; teaching them to swing, recess; Relearning Spanish this year, sign language last. Lou P C, perpetual student at heart!

ReplyDeleteReading to kids is SO much fun!
Looks like you had a lot of fun. Little ones can be so truthful sometimes it is scary. I am sure they enjoyed you being there.
