Nothing special about today, other than there was no school yesterday for President's Day so I got to experience what would typically be the Monday Crazies. I'm preparing for Dr. Seuss Day by tracing and cutting out hats that they are going to wear, and every time a kid walked by the door they had to come in and ask me what I was doing; they all received the same answer: "You only get to know if you know what day March 2nd is." Of course, none of them knew that that is Dr. Seuss Day.
Since today was like Monday, we started with the letter of the week - D: Deedee Deer. They did the weekly worksheet where the practice tracing and writing the letter D and then draw pictures of things they know start with the letter D (they get to make attempts at labeling their drawings, but Mrs. Brasler usually ends up helping out on that one).
Centers were kind of a hot mess today. Computers weren't working, Jack had a meltdown because he couldn't trace shapes at the shape book center, Room 4 ELD students had to work on the carpet because Room 4 was occupied by the Hearing & Sight Test lady, Austin's ADHD was at a new high, and my center revolved around completing a potpourri of worksheets on presidents from last Friday along with an additional few worksheets for those had been exceptionally on task and finished everything. Le sigh.
But I did get a lot of hugs, and those are always mood lifters. And there was measurable Reading Comprehension progress with some of our lower-readers in the class which was super exciting to see. All together a pretty typical day in Room 3.
