April Faves
Posted by Diane Badden on 28 Apr 2010 | Posted in: Teachers and Teaching
With only three days left in April, it seems like a perfect time to share some favorite teacher moments from the month! Is there an activity your kiddos absolutely loved? Did your students knock your socks off with their test scores? Do you have a teacher-to-teacher giggle to share? Or maybe you have a learning moment or two you’d like to tell us about?
For me, April has been all about learning. I was reminded about the importance of play—that it’s good for a person no matter his or her age. And, as you all know, I also learned that I need to make sure I’m wearing my clothes correctly! (If you missed this story, see the post “Still Chuckling.”)
All ears!
Diane

Well, I have a new student who began with my special ed preschool class about 3 weeks ago. She has a vocabulary of about 12 words. Her mom told me that the students said hi to her grandmother for the first time. Hearing this brought tears to my eyes!
Several of my kindergarteners wrote and published their own stories that were 3-5 pages long. I am so proud of their hard work and the way the stuck to working on writing the same story over several days! I love watching Kindergarteners when they realize they can actually read and write! It makes all the struggles worth it!
