Today was a good day to end a very busy week. I moved up to 2nd grade today, in a class I haven't been to yet this year. Although I did sort of know some of the kids from subbing in their 1st grade class last year.
The morning started off by the assistant principal telling me some people were coming today to observe in a bunch of classrooms during the reading time, so they could see the "Daily 5" program in use. Therefore, she was planning on coming in first thing in the morning and teaching the reading lesson in my class. So for the first hour of the day I didn't do much.
After this, we immediately headed out to the music room for a practice with the other 2nd grade classes for their program. The music room is at the other end of the school, and since the classroom is right by an outside door and it was nice and sunny outside we walked around the building. The program they were practicing for was all ocean songs, and again I basically sat around observing for another hour.
When we came back from music, I did a quick writing lesson and then they had lunch.
The rest of the day was taken up with math, PE, reading a book, and then going back to the gym/music room building again for a Battle of the Books assembly. That got out about 10 minutes before the end of the day so we took an extra recess (and the kids loved me forever.) :)

That recess at the end of the day was a good move. Always nice to leave on a good note so they are happy to see you next time. It sounded like a pretty nice day for a Friday with lots of extra activities to fill up the day.
Love you!!! MOM
