School's Out for Summer!

Well, we all survived the very first year of Full Day-Every Day Kindergarten.  I have truly enjoyed the school year and am amazed at the progress and development of all my students - academically and socially!  WOW!  What a wonderful group of students!!!  I look forward to another fantastic year in September!

Have a safe and happy summer everyone.

I Survived!

I survived our trip to the Science Centre today.  It was...quite interesting.  The students had a blast and were thoroughly entertained.  I think I can relax now for a bit now that I don't have to keep track of 28 energetic bodies bent on exploring and experimenting.  Not to prepare for SK graduation, our Water Fun Day and Picnic, Indoor Play Day and Outdoor Play Day!

Ziggurat Training

I spent the last two days at a Workshop Seminar being trained in the Ziggurat Model for students with ASD/Aspergers.  It was a LOT of information to digest but it was enjoyable.  Some of the things I learned can be applied to any classroom and can help many students cope with school.  I'm looking forward to implementing some ideas learned.
