Today since it was Tuesday I got switched to the JK class, right when I arrived the teacher had set out a craft I would have to cut out and get ready for the students. The craft was a fun idea, the teacher told the kids that a Leprecon was coming to the class room when they weren’t there and would be leaving gold coins for all the students, the students will no when he has come over night because they will see magic dust sprinkled on the floor when they come to class. So there job was to make little Leprecon ladders so that he “could climb up them” to get to the class and place the gold coins. After I finished getting it ready the kids were undressing out of there jackets and boots, once they were done they finished their morning ritual, then the class showed me a dance they had been working on while I was in the other class room. As I sat with the class the teacher taught them about weighing things with a scale, they took random objects from the class and had to figure what weighed more. After that they had a work sheet on weighing waiting at their desks and had to color them in, I got the chance to help them with that. Also while they were having play time I took 4 students at a time and worked on the ladders the teacher explained how to do. It was fun because they were so excited about the Leprecon coming and had so many questions about him to ask me. Once snack time came at 2:30 I had to make my way back to the SK class, and helped Mrs. MacDonald with some work around the classroom that had to be done before the end of the day. While I was doing that the class was reading another book about Clifford, and that took us to the end of the day.
