...and Weekly Re-cap~
If
you are a new follower let me give details of Facts of Five. It was a model I
used when I taught students with special needs in a self-contained classroom. I
presented a category such as ‘Five Cartoons’ or ‘Five flavors of Kool-aid’ and
the students had to consider an idea that fit the group. It was fun and thought
generating yet in the meantime, I was able to get to know what was important to
my students.
So our
category for today five events to recap my week…
 |
| talking with Kindergarten and First grade.... |
1.)
On Monday, I had the delightful opportunity to spend the day
at Chesterbrook Academy as a visiting author. The children and staff were warm
and receptive as I read stories from my book- Life through the Eyes of a
Hurricane” Doggie-Dog!, talked with groups of children on the writing
process and shared my publishing experience. Thank you Carol Risucci for the
invitation for an occasion to share and make new friends.
 |
| The Kindergarten children were inspired to write their own books which were Awesome! |
2.)
My book became an E-reader on Amazon.com. Gosh, seriously,
this entire experience has been tremendous. Thank you all for sharing in this!
3.)
Nicholas participated in his final band concert as a 7th
grader…Where does time go? I recall the first day he came home to practice the clarinet
and with that first squeak, well, the second and third too, I wondered if he’d
ever master the instrument. Well, much to my amazement and enjoyment, I relish
hearing him make sweet music.
 |
| Nicholas, music teacher: Ms. Gorham, and Emily, a friend of Nicholas' |
4.)
It’s official! I received my letter of transfer to my new
school, Holly Springs Elementary School. This confirms my new position as a
Cross-Categorical Kindergarten teacher; God is good!
5.)
Although the first week of track out has been tremendously
rainy, the wet weather has prompted us to hibernate indoors with good books, writing,
planning, family activities and much needed quiet times together. Life is good!

I am happy for your new position- I still have no idea what or where I will teach next year...only that I have a job due to seniority.

My cat is even more helpful ... He lies down on my hands as they are poised over the keyboard!
There's nothing better than settling in with a good book on a rainy day

Good luck in your new position. And thanks for sharing these photos.
Congrats on the job transfer! Lovely to see youngsters playing instruments. And help from the kitty. She looks like a detail person. :-) What a wonderful week!
I love how kitty cats can be so helpful with our projects. Mine is training me to type with one hand while she uses my left hand for a pillow and takes a nap on my lap.
"Life Through the Eyes of a Hurricane: Doggie Dog" sounds like a wonderful book. You're having quite an adventure, aren't you?
