The morning started out with an amazing sunrise and 10 out of 13 green lights on the way to school! Woo Hoo!!!
In Kindergarten today we were practicing recognizing rhythms to day. This says "ta", this says "ti ti". Let's read these rhythms "ta ta titi ta." I made a comment similar to "Boys and girls you are so smart!" A student responded "Yep. We sure are. I bet we're even smarter than you are Ms. Scott!!"
Several students have requested to hear Wavin' Flag again. I'm glad that song went over so well. I'm thinking about using it again next week as their song for their listening journal. The fifth graders were doing some dancing today. While they were getting drinks, I let them listen to Wavin' Flag (since it was requested). I really only taught them the refrain, yet when the song started there was a group of girls singing their hearts out on the verse. They liked the song so much they went home and downloaded it!!
This morning in carpool I was met by a bright and smiley fifth grader waving her recorder to let me know that she was VERY excited for recorder club this afternoon. Also today was the first day of recorder club. I had 14 fifth graders sign up, bring their recorders and spend an hour after school playing recorders. We learned one duet from Dojo Duets (by Plank Road Publishing) and started on In the Hall of the Mountain King. The kids are pretty excited about In the Hall of the Mountain King. :) Also 13 out of 14 students were picked up on time. Not bad for the first day. :)
At the school book fair, parents donated three of the four books on my wish list!! Also a wonderful parent brought me a Dunkin' Donuts coffee!!!!!! Just what I needed to make it though the day.
Here's to a week full of more rainbows than thunderstorms!
