My dream is to one day be a kindergarten teacher and today was a wonderful reminder of that! As I have been going to school (for what seems forever) I sometimes get discouraged and wonder why I am putting in so much of my time and money. Thankfully every now and then I get the chance to work in a classroom, plan lessons, and actually interact with young students and it refreshes me!
Today I had a group assignment to plan a lesson for a kindergarten class taught by one of my dear friends and mentors. The lesson could not have gone better. The students had a lot of fun and really participated, everything flowed, we were right on time with our timing, and I just had an absolute blast working with these kids for 45 minutes of my day!
We got to go on a tableaux adventure where I was Little Red Riding Hood and my group of 4 students had to help me map my way to "grandmother's house". Along the way we had to tableaux the different places we went like the forest, the mountains, the river, etc. My group was super cute and we had a fun time wondering the school halls being chased by the evil elves, seeing the friendly snowmen, seeing the creepy hands as well as making our way over mountains, through forests and crossing rivers. I am glad I get to use my imagination again!!!!!
I can't wait to have my own little classroom where I get to do fun things like this all day long, what a blessing!!!!!
