6 week countdown...

I'm not counting the days till summer, instead I'm counting down the days I have left in the classroom. I had mentioned before that I was ready to leave the classroom and now, I have a clearer picture of what the next year will be like...

We started our sunflower seeds from our penpals in Kansas this week... And now, Looking forward to fun Earth Day with Lots of Outdoor activities, teaching the students about Thailand, having both a Star Wars Day & Cinco de Mayo celebration in the same week, just ordered my caterpillars from Insect Lore... and looking forward to the school's yearly Culture Week.

So the time that I do have left, I want to make the most of. One thing that I tried was a movie day at the end of the week. This was a positive reward for the students for having a good attitude during testing. We watched Moana and I put the subtitles on. It was a joy to watch them read & sing the movie. Even the boys got quite into the singing with the hand raising! They were actually reading: "What does excuse mean?" "I didn't know design was spelled like that" "It says squealing" (I put the hearing impaired captions on)

That song "How far will I go" will forever remind me of these guys...

6 weeks left.. I'm going to miss it.
