I'm home. Safe. And no one peed their pants! In all honesty, the day went GREAT! My master teacher is wonderful and supportive...I couldn't have asked for better.
The day started out with carpet time where we learned about the letter "I." It was amazing to me to see how...academic kindergarten has become. I remember making green eggs and ham, picking out pumpkins at Glen Oak, and learning how to write my name. Instead, these kids learn about long and short vowel sounds and what non-fiction means. It's a little sad...but the one great thing about this school, is that it's all day kindergarten, so there is still time for fun! The charter school I'm at has TONS of clubs, provides spanish and art teachers, and requires that parents volunteer in the classrooms. It's realy amazing to see a school work so well because of all the support that parents give in the classroom. There were 4 parent volunteers today. 4!! That's more then some teachers see all year!
All in all, it was a great day and I am so excited to be one day closer to being in a classroom of my own. I will leave you with a great quote from a lovely little girl:
"Mrs. Rist, I need to go to the nurse."
"What is bothering you?"
"Boys."
