Today i arrived a bit early and Mrs. MacDonald Had me fold newsletters about education week coming up, this did not take me long and I finished before it was time for the students to come in. Once they came in the class did their morning routine and Mrs. MacDonald explained what they would be doing today. At seat work they had math homework to do and she explained that I would be calling two students at a time to paint a butterfly. They have to do this because they are starting a new unit for spring and summer. I got through all the students and Mrs. MacDonald was very happy since the morning class did not finish. It took the students awhile and it was very messy but we all enjoyed it. We finished just before snack time and I had to spray down the desk and clean up the mess since there was paint EVERYWHERE. After the break I cut out circles for the morning and afternoon class, I had to do this because this week they will be making all different kinds of butterflies. The class was reading a book together and I did not want to bother Mrs. MacDonald so I sprayed down the desks and stacked the chairs. There was still 15 minutes left so I went out in the hall and took down the Franklin bulletin and brought it back. Mrs. MacDonald said she really appreciated my work today since I finished so much, so overall it was a productive day.
