Hoot #1
WE HAVE CHICKS!! This has been a wonderful experience for the children (and us too)! This week the students have ran to the incubator every time they hear a noise. The first chick that hatched was honored by the name Rockstar Jitterbug. He is spunky and loves to jump right in your hand to cuddle.
The students reaction to our new friend was priceless!
Derek was so excited, he made his very own chick at home and brought it to schoool! JaVaughn loved it so much that he begged me to take a picture of him standing next to Derek's chick!
Hoot #2
The end of the year is near, and testing season has begun! Kindergarten students have already taken their state test, and we are SO proud of how much each student has grown this year! In order to keep things as normal as possible during this busy time of year, we have to get creative! Students love technology, so we use that as a reward daily for growth and behavior. They have worked so hard this year, and they deserve a little break from the norm. They are allowed to have free time on the computers and tablets, which means they do not have to do a certain program picked by the teacher. This has been the best reward EVER! They share and work together so well!
