The IA did a couple activities that needed to be in Spanish in the morning and the rest of the day just went swimmingly in English. We did some reading and writing activities in the morning and art and math in the afternoon.
Most noteworthy activities of the day:
- We went on a triangle hunt around the school. All the kids carried clipboards with paper and a pencil as we walked down the halls and around the playground looking for things shaped like triangles. The kindergarten class I sub for a lot happened to be out at recess at this time, so that was interesting as a bunch of them wanted to come talk to me. :)
- After reading a book about an elephant, I taught the kids how to draw and elephant. We looked for shapes in the elephant (like circle for his body, egg for his head, triangle for his ear) and drew them all together. Pretty soon they all had really cute, really different elephants that they were SO proud of! Seriously, almost all of them were holding theirs up and calling, "Look at mine, teacher!" It was fun.

I'm glad you had such a fun day. The triangle search sounds like a fun activity. I'm sure the elephants all turned out great with your artistic guidance. No wonder they all love you.
Love you!!! MOM
