Positive Fridays - April 15th, 2013

TGIF, it's Friday everyone!  You have almost made it through another week. :-)  Now let's check out my positives from subbing.

Last Friday, I subbed in a Kindergarten class at the same school I was at all week.  It sure makes it nice to be in the same school for a week and not have to drive far.  I had this class about a week and half ago.

• The children came in smiling at me and saying hi to me.  Some told me they really like me and they got started on their writing journals, which was free choice for Friday!
• I read "A House for Hermit Crab" to the children, we did some phonemic awareness, calendar, and brainstormed feelings and why we might feel that way.  Then they wrote about a feeling and what one time was when they felt that way.  They also drew dots to match the number on the ladybugs, colored a book about insects, and watched an Eric Carle video.
• I got some sweet hugs from other Kindergarten children on the playground and at dismissal, including a 1st grader who always makes a point to come running up to hug me if she sees me.  I had to give her a brag tag and also gave one to the hardest worker in Kindergarten class.
• The children were well behaved, used quiet voices, and worked hard.

Monday through Thursday I proctored the FCAT test and then subbed in a 5th grade class while that teacher administered FCAT to a couple of children.  So I just watched them take their test and then the 5th grader went outside to play and then watched movies each day until their teacher came back and I went home.  On Wednesday I did run into a 3rd grader who has been extra kind to me, always gives me a hug, and has something really nice to say to me so I of course had to give her a Kindness Counts Brag Tag.

Friday (today), I am back in Kindergarten at the school I was at last week, but with a different class.  I promised to eat with them ages ago if I subbed for them again so they will be super excited.  I'll blog about it next week along with whatever other days I sub.  So far no work scheduled.  Hope it picks up.

Don't forget to leave your positives in the comments.  I love reading them!
