Week 3: Sara

This week there was a second new student introduced to the room. So, in this classroom in this short amount of time, there has been a substitute teacher and two new students! It's been a little bit crazy but yet an amazing learning experience. I have discovered that kindergarten really is not my strong suit but it's been fun learning the pros and cons of the young age. I did a read aloud this week and so did Jamie. I read a book that was from my book collection titled "All Kinds of Trucks". It was about a little boy who wanted a toy truck from the toy store and all the way to the store his aunt and uncle were guessing what kind of truck he would want. In the end, he picked a truck that was just like his uncle's. This went along with the transportation theme of the week. The new student seemed to have some behavioral problems. He participated in flexible seating by getting a "waddle" chair for him to rock side to side on. It helped his attention span a lot and the benefits of the flexible seating was pretty remarkable. I look forward to my next read aloud as well as participating in a guided reading lesson that Jamie and I will do with a small group.
