Rain+Recess= 64 kids need entertained in 1 confined space


As teachers we always dread those two words that come around about this time of year and leave mid-spring . . . .  . . . . INSIDE RECESS!!  Well, those words were spoken again today and this time I had the privilege of finding activities to entertain all 64 Kindergarten students.  I was so pleased with how well they did.  We had 2 large tables filled with construction paper scraps, glue sticks and scissors (WOW!!  I earned lots of brownie points for this center!!), then we had 3 games of Candy Land, Mrs. Stacy's GIANT white board to write on to play school, pattern blocks, doll house, 2 groups of Legos, 2 Lite Brite's, along with our regular centers.  It was SUCCESSFUL if I say so myself!!

Visitors to the School

Today we had visitors visiting our classrooms!  That's right, the Sharon Springs Grade School teachers came to Colby for their inservice today.  They went to many classrooms and watched lessons, talked to teachers about the Colby curriculum and more.  It was nice to be able to pass some of our wonderful ideas on to other teachers.  What a great inservice to be able to go watch another teacher inside his/her own element!

I had 4 giving students this year!!  We have read three of the books, we're saving one for a snowy day, and the kids LOVE them!!

Thank you Savanna, Tate, Peyton and Mac for your generosity!!

Also thanks to the PTO for donating 3 books and some mini-pointers for reading!!  You deserve a big pat on the back for all you do for the teachers and students!!  THANK YOU!!
