Today I was in the other Jk class, it was an easy beginning since I got to sit with the class and listen to the morning routine. I think that is the best part especially when the teacher lets them tell their stories.

Then the teacher let the students know that they will be doing testing as well. She explained I would be taking two aside to work with and what they had to do. First they had to write their name at the top in neat printing, and then do as much of the alphabet as they could. It was funny to watch some of the students because it was like they were making up their own alphabet. Then they had to write down as much of the numbers as they could. The part they liked the most was to count out loud, as high as they could, all the numbers they know. Some of them could count to 100 and were very proud that they could. The hardest part was at the back when they had to write a story, most of them had troubles so we decided to change it to just writing down their favorite word they could spell properly.

After the break when I was with Mrs. MacDonald’s class, I stayed with them as we watched a movie on dinosaurs. I had to stay with them because the teachers had to get together and talk about a presentation they were setting up. So I stayed back and made sure they were quiet.
