Kindergartners Self Portraits are hilarious! Some are still in the phase where they seem themselves as a head with legs directly under (see top right). Others have arms the size of Goliath (top left). Others think they have the height of Yao Ming (second poster- bottom center). All that matters is that they all draw themselves smiling!
Because it's a brand new school- everything is new and fancy. I ask for 4 computers for my class for kids to use in a center. Sure! Let us bring you 4 brand new flat screen computers in the wrapping. My last schools would laugh at me, promise to look around in the storage closet, and bring me some ancient microwave size beast that booted up in 30 minutes- on a good day. Now that I am a Davis County Tax Payer- I do not grumble when I see the Public School portion on our property tax- it's worth it!
Everything is colorful and bright. You can tell the kindergartners to make their work "colorful, fancy and beautiful," and they all jut giggle. They work so hard that you walk by little boys sticking their tongue out to the side while they work ever so hard on that picture. You can decorate the room bright and colorful and the parents are just as excited about it as their kids.
The furniture barely hits my knees- it makes me feel tall! This picture doesn't do it justice- but these counters and sink are actually about 2 1/2 feet tall.
We still get to plan "Dramatic Play Centers" where we incorporate the house. Sometimes they just play house (and yes the little boys play too!), and sometimes we trick-or-treat for glass ABC tiles. Anything to make play educational.
And last, I have really enjoyed the half day schedule. Any child can be cute for 2 1/2 hours. Finally- a job I love and am excited to go to everyday!
How awesome! Looks like fun!
