Hello internet! I am far into my partnership now, just about halfway and finally feeling comfortable in my classroom and with my kids, getting in the routine of it all. Im so thankful for the school that i have been placed in and the huge support system that is in place from all the kindergarten teachers. I can only hope to get a job in a school with even similar team support.
I am getting ready to teach my unit, getting all of my lesson plans together and I am getting very excited. This week is going to be quite stressful with all of the assignments due, but spring break is just around the corner and then I get to teach my unit! I am looking forward to spring break so I can take a little time to relax and just process, all while I am still doing my work and trying to get ahead in my work for the next few weeks.
My unit for my kindergarten class is going to be on plants and living things. I am excited to have the opportunity to be the main teacher during this unit, because I have never taught for a whole week straight. I am excited for the responsibility. I think my kids are going to love what I have in store for them becuase we will be working with plants and seeing first hand how they grow. Some of my kids I know will have a strong background knowledge in the things I will be teaching them, but I know that a lot of my students are very unaware of the fundamental needs for plants and animals.
This week we just got finished focusing on George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and presidents day. I really enjoyed seeing how much my students knew about the presidents and how much they have remembered from earlier in the year about money and in which order the presidents were elected.
I cant wait to start my own unit when I come back from spring break! Should be a great time exploring science with my little kindergarteners. Until next time!
