This week my class worked on making t-shirts for earth day. They each got a shirt and created an earth on it and added different designs. I did my 3rd read aloud this week with a nonfiction book on The Liberty Bell. The class was really confused as to why and how the bell cracked and why they just do not replace it. Also this week, the class received a bunch of baby chicken eggs that were placed in an incubator, the class is going to be watching the eggs and waiting until they hopefully hatch.
I noticed that my CT includes a lot of technology into her teaching of the classroom and through that I have learned exactly how much technology I will actually be wanting in my classroom. I am excited to do my guided reading plan next week. I am glad to be in a classroom because it gives me the itch to want to be a teacher even more and teach the class in my own way.
Our kindergarteners made earth day t-shirts as well this week, and I realized how much help the teacher needs for projects like these. We had college students and parents come in to help with a total of 6 adults in the classroom, and our CT told us this doesn't happen often and you're lucky if you can get that much help in the class at one time. With all the extra help, the project went smoothly, but I'm not sure how our CT would have been able to do this project without the help.
