I forgot how funny it is to start out the year with Kindergarteners! By about 2:00, my few 4 years old students are get for a nap! I can tell that they are so sleepy and they say, "Can I go home now?" The first few days, I had one really friendly boy that while I was giving important directions and right in the middle of a big spiel, would spot someone across the classroom and waving wildly shout, "HI ISABELLA!" Haahaha!
Today I was assessing the students on which letters and sounds that they know. When we got to the lowercase "t", one said, "Ooooooh, I know this one. It's a cross!" :) Of course there are always some who call an "o" a circle and an "l" a number one. My personal favorite is when I ask the student the numbers and they say without missing a beat...." 5, 6, 7, snowman (instead of 8), 9, 10... That is so funny!
I have my work cut out for me! :) I do seem to have a very good class!
