Well, I survived my first year as a teacher.
Wednesday was our last day of school, and we had a very busy day. After some cleaning, we played "Minute to Win It" games. The kiddos loved it! In one minute, students had to....
...move cotton balls into a bucket using chopsticks... (they were very good at this one, because a lot of them use chopsticks regularly at home.)
... use only one hand to sort a bag of M&M's into piles of each color...
... remove all of the tissues from a tissue box...
...move red cups one by one from the top of the stack to the bottom, to reveal a blue cup on the top...
...use an uncooked spaghetti noodle in their mouths to pick up four penne noodles...
...and stack 36 cups into a tower.
It really was a great last day of school.
The best part of the day was as we were taking the kids out to the buses. A crowd of teachers had formed, cheering for and hugging the students as they walked to their buses. It was such a positive way to end a spectacular school year.
Until next time,
