I have learned so much in the last week. Most importantly,
Story time is a must!!! I spend more time reading stories to them and teaching
through them than I do teaching at the whiteboard. They come in from playing
under the hot sun and they are so hot and tired that all we can do is sit and
read a story together.
The best lesson this week was off the cuff. I asked a student
to grab a book off the shelf, “Good Morning Sun.” I had them sit at their
tables. I explained that they could put their heads down if they wanted to and
just listen. By the end of the story we had learned all about the sun rising,
setting, shadows, and more. I was amazed that even though the sun shines every
day they don’t know that much about it. Story time turned into journal writing
time. The prompt, “The sun…” There were so many different pictures drawn and
things dictated to me to write about.
What a great lesson. I, we, needed a good time of quiet
learning and work.
