I'll try to make this quick. I haven't posted once since last Wednesday because it has been extremely busy. Assignments are beginning to become due in my UOP student teaching seminar class and my school was preparing for Grandparents Day that happened last Friday. We invited all of the student's grandparents to come to school at noon for a Grandparents Day program. The program was a huge success. The grandparents love this event. I video taped a happy Grandparents Day message from the students that didn't have grandparents at the event so their grandparents could see it on our Facebook page. The next event was Fall Field Day which took place on Sunday from noon to 5:00pm. The PE teacher headed it up but all of the teacher's helped. It was also a success. The parents enjoyed watching their children participate in athletic challenges and funny games. So to make a very long story short, I've been busy.
INSIGHT
This year we did something new with Fall Field Day and Grandparents Day. We had the upper grade students perform skits at Grandparents Day with the younger students. We also had the teams mixed at Fall Field Day with upper grade students and younger grade students. I believe it is a good idea to encourage our upper grade students (7th and 8th grade) to participate with the younger grade students. I think it gives our upper grade students a sense of behavior responsibility when they act as a role model for our younger students, and I believe the younger students enjoy spending time with the upper grade students. Our 1st and 2nd grade classroom is participating in a letter writing program with writing buddies in the 7th and 8th grade.
