After my
mini lesson with my Kindergartners and Young 5’s classes I always have them
close their eyes and I ask “What will I write today?” I continue a sing-song voice, “will it be …” and
I begin to list things the kids have told me about that day. As I finish they open their eyes, and give me a
signal if they have a story. Almost
everyone does before we leave the carpet.
Today after
a long day of Professional Development, where we professionals had to sign in and
out like 8th graders who
might cut school and go have a smoke I feel like I need to close my eyes and
listen to someone sing some ideas.
I hate it when the administration doesn't treat us like a professional and we have to jump through hoops.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of how to send kids off to write, I will be sharing that with teachers. Thanks.
