Kids and Racecars!

As a new teacher, to begin you teach the same class subject for a month to get used to the program. I have been teaching kitchen and it has been a blast! I love cooking with the kids. Seeing their faces light up when they taste something good, seeing them concentrate, trying to decide if a peanut goes in ice cream, or a leaf goes in a smoothie has brought me joy in their improvement.
Well this past week, I have been teaching a new class. Shop. We get to build things and take them apart. It's been tricky trying to come up with lesson plans. The kids however seemed to love all of them: slingshots, putting together ball point pens, the game ball-in-a-cup, and racecars. The racecars took two days to make! It was so much fun!!!



My racecar. Made with a popsicle stick, pencils, rubber bands, toy spools, pipe cleaners, and yarn.

He liked to go fast

I think the racecars were a huge success. In the one-year-old class, we get to play games and learn how to share. They are the cutest!

Mew-Mew and Ink

Prea (Pear)

Mew-Mew loves the camera. Whenever I take it out, she comes and sits on my lap to see the screen

I love her little baby teeth

Her version of the peace sign

Pear has the hardest time sharing. If someone else has it, she needs it.

Ink is the newest member of our school. Her Dad dropped her off in desperation cause he couldn't handle her crying. She is the sweetest little girl I have ever met!

 I LOVE THESE KIDS!!!!!
