Well, I have been super busy this week!  I have subbed 3 days in a row for a K-4 class!  Two of those mornings I had only half an hour to get ready and therefore rushed through my usually lazy relaxed mornings!  It has been fun, but I would not want to teach K-4 full [...]

I was asked to sub for a teacher today!  When I got to Bethel I found out I was subbing for the High School math teacher.  Wow, flashback to High School. I still stink at Math!  I was helping out in Geometry and they were doing segments and I was lost!   Right now I [...]

So yesterday we were once again doing an art project on the K-4 class! ¬†They were making an owl and had to cut out the wings and the owl. ¬†It was challenging for some of them, but they all did a wonderful job! ¬†As I was helping Jason hold his scissors correctly he says, “Thanks [...]

So when I was at work on Monday we did 2 art projects in the K-4 class! ¬†The first one was really easy. ¬†All they had to do was cut on the thick black line that went down the center of the page and then I taped the two¬†pieces¬†together. ¬†It was the poem “One, two, [...]

So today after I got the K-4 kids up from their nap time we started to get ready to go outside for recess. ¬†As we were waiting to line up one of the kids told me I was pretty. ¬†I said, “Really?” ¬†And they all answered, “Yes” ¬†I was touched. ¬†then one of the boys [...]

So this is going to be a little interesting. ¬†Because most of the K-4 children are Asian they have a hard time with English sometimes. ¬†They know that I am Mrs. Ashton but getting them to say that is sometimes very¬†difficult. ¬†They have a tendency to say Mr. Ashton. ¬†So I ask them “What is [...]

So I think that art projects should be pre-prepped for k-4 kids!  Today they were supposed to cut out 3 pink circles.  1 of them had a face on it, 1 of them looked like a pig snout, and the last one was plain pink.  The object was to cut them out, glue the medium [...]

So life as a K-4 teacher is great!  I have been having fun working with the kids every day!  I will post pics as soon as I take some.  Let me try to introduce you to my class through words!  I have 11 kids (sometimes 12) from 1:30-3:30.  Jason has to be one of the [...]

Well, James and I have survived the first day of school!  It was a good day.  I am working with K-4.  They are really cute.  I only have 12 kids so it is not too much work!  James enjoyed his first day.  We are both tired but happy with the accomplishments  of the day!

James and I have had a very busy week. ¬†Teacher in-Service started this week. ¬†We were here every morning at 7:30 and didn’t head home until around 3:00 each afternoon! ¬†We were here until 7:30 a couple of nights due to orientation! ¬†We are worn out and looking forward to the weekend. ¬†Right now as [...]
