Well this morning everyone started off very slow and sleepy. Those Monday mornings are hard, especially when the weather was as dreary as it was today! We were a little sluggish this morning, which made some students have a little bit of extra homework tonight since they didn't get their classwork finished on time.
After lunch the class definitely made up for that sluggish morning we had by giggling nonstop nearly the entire afternoon, especially after recess! Wow!
During our time for math, our centers were cut short because of the lack of focus from many students which made us have extra work. It is a bummer when students aren't ready to focus, but then they pay the consequences of those actions. As a teacher, I believe this is an important lesson to learn early on in life. Students need to understand that for every action you pay consequences, whether those are positive or negative. I try to structure my classroom in a way that reflects that idea. When students are behaving extra nice, they will get a fun activity to do. However, when students aren't paying attention and start not listen or follow directions, it is important that they learn there are negative consequences to those actions as well. It has really been working fairly well so far.
This afternoon we decided what materials we were going to take with us on the Oregon Trail and prepared to depart from Independence, Missouri this week. We also had some time to work on the digestive system packet of activities from last week.
Tonight students have to read their Little House on the Prairie book through chapter 3, Workbook pages 21-23, and Workbook pages 125-127. Make sure that homework comes back tomorrow so no one has to spend recess time with me! See you tomorrow!
