Tuesday we went to North to help with the District Book Fair. I was Mrs. Jarrell's helper. The first classroom we went to we were learning about recycling. One student had to go in front of everyone and read a book about recycling. When he was done reading the book the teacher who was directing the class had a cute activity about decomposition. It was with different types of food. It was a good way for the kids to use their hands and actually visualize how the process works. The kids really enjoyed it. We were done really early so we went on a tour of the school. During the tour we passed my classroom and I wanted to stay, so I stayed in their with my class. We left around 11:30. I enjoyed spending the day at the school.

Yesterday, January 9,2014, was our first day back at the elementary for a couple of weeks. The kids were all excited to see me. Mrs. Ball had to keep the pace going kind of fast because they were doing MAP testing. When I walked in they were singing a song about being kind toward one another. They really enjoy this time and it is a reminder to be kind through out the day to one another. When they were done with the song and being on the carpet it was time for centers. I get to help a lot through out that time. Some students were making snowman and had to match the vowel sounds up and some were practicing writing their ABC's in lower case letters. I go around and help with little minor things. When they are done I get to check their work and draw a smiley face! (:
