As part of my Student Teaching experience, I have to observe a Kindergarten classroom for 20 hours during this semester. I love Ms.J so much that I have decided to visit her classroom for a longer period. I believe that the experience I will get with her is one-of-kind and I'm glad I was placed with such a great teacher.
This Friday, as part of the Halloween week Ms.J read a Halloween story named " The 13 Nights of Halloween" and use cut-out characters of the book for the children to act as she read the story. I was allowed to the take some pictures of the materials, as well of the reading they did as part of Jumpstar's Read for a Record and children's work.

Jumpstart's Read a Record book choice: The Bear Ate Your Sandwich by Julia Sarcone-Roach
These are some of the drawings made by the kids for a previous assignment that they had.
"I'm a pumpkin".

Today is Halloween and all the children came dress-up and were so excited to show us their costumes and talk about who they were dressing at. They all looked very cute and I loved the fact that they were so excited to go trick-or-treating, but I must say that this is the most tiresome day that I had experience as a student teacher so far. The morning class was super-excited and this whole excitement led to one of the student to vomit and w kind of lost control of the class, as some of the children wanted to show their costumes to the other teachers and children who were doing a little parade in the classroom to show their costumes and it just got a bit out of control. I now understand why Ms. L says that this is one of the craziest days at school!



As part of today's activity, Ms. L read the "Ten Timid Ghost" and used felt paper puppet as a visual aid.
