Valentine's Day (February 5, 2014)

Today was an awesome day! I arrived during "story time" was taking place so I had to prepare the stuff for our upcoming project. I cut out many hearts with different colors and shapes.Valentines day is just a week away so our project was based on love and friendship. My kids had to design their paper bags with hearts, leafs, and fur balls. The hearts represented the love that they have for their friends and family. Ms. Ann placed me in table two. As we made the cards, I asked them questions about why and for who they made the cards. Many said their parents because they love and protect them. It was a nice way to get to know my students.    The only problem was that they all wanted to talk at the same time so we made a lot of noise, but I repeatedly had to tell them to lower down their volume. After we finished making the cards, we cleaned up. I learned that kids enjoy and are willing to clean up as long as its a fun process. Therefore, I gave each of them a job. For example, one kid was in charge of putting back the scissors, while the other one was in charge of putting back the glue. We cleaned up very fast!
 After, we played for the remaining time. At the end of the day Ms. Ann spends her time cleaning up so I help her or keep the kids entertained. I try to play with everyone since I'm not supposed to show preference, which I don't have any because all my kids are unique!
