Today i was in Mrs. McNeil's class room, Today i got to sit with the class and participate in the afternoon routine. The class sings songs and chooses a leader for the day, they also share stories with the whole class. It was fun to just sit and listen to what they had to say, then the teacher explained what they would be working on this afternoon.

While they worked on their seat work i called two students at a time and explained what i was doing. I had to get them trace their hand and cut it out on blue paper. After i had to pin them up on a bulletine we were making for the class. This took awhile because some students had to re due it, some of the students cut of their paper fingers. I had time at the end to pin them up. There was still some students at their table doing work so i went up to acouple of them to ask if they needed help, one of the students did so i sat with her and helped her.

After break i went to help Mrs. MacDonald, the class had to do show and share and then go to gym. It was my job to start decorating the painted butterflies the class made this week. They had to make the pieces symmetrical, so they had to glue on 4 pieces of fruit loops, two green triangles and two blue squares. I also had to watch after a student who could not go to gym class since he did not finish his snack. I enjoyed this art because it was fun to make. I just ran out of green triangles when the rest of the class came back from gym and it was the end of the day, before i left i cut more green triangles up for tommorow and cleaned the room and stacked the chairs for home time.
