Not Happening in the Classroom

After 1 hour in the classroom, the Tawawami School pre-schoolers'  interest in the days of the week, numbers 1-10, the weather, the words sun, sunny, and rain started to wane.  Decided to take the classroom outside, so they could draw the lesson instead. Ah, success and attentiveness - students that are engaged in the activity introduced can create magic!  Please take note of the need for supplies - crayons, pencils, and paper.  Anyone interested in a project?

  6. 1B wants to know how you take a bath? How do you get water? Do you have paper and where does it come from? Do the students have their own books? Do they have police officers in the town? Is there a lot of pollution? What food do you eat? If someone gets hurt do they have hospitals?

  7. I think a great idea is for my preschool class to be the "twin" class for your students..we could have so much fun throughout the year..what do you think? I think it would be an awesome experience, especially for my students and their parents
    Great pictures, they warm my heart
    Be safe

  8. MJ. Love looking at your blog everyday when I get home from HC. It certainly puts the world into proper perspective. The kids are terrific, and so is their teacher. I have tons of pencils, paper, and notebooks. I have been hoarding these and waiting for a good cause to donate them. (I visit the 1 cent sales at Staples quite often) Well, now I know where the supplies can best be used. 6B will also get plenty of crayons. Can we pack them up and send them to the address that Michelle has? Is that the quickest way for you to receive them? As soon as I find out ... we will get them shipped to you and the kids. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care!
