Well it’s amazingly almost Friday again. I swear these weeks are going faster than ever before!
Teaching:
We tackled the letter e printing today and I made the children changed five e’s before they even came to see me.
They had music and I had a pretty useless prep:(
We finally got math and did a math assessment. I haven’t had a chance to look and see how it went with having all the children do it at once. Normally all assessment is done individually at this age, but we asked the kids to roll a die, and then print the number, day whether it was even or odd, put it into a ten frame, tally it and tell whether it was greater than or less than three. I guess we’ll see how much math they took in this term.
This afternoon we did art, but I’m not telling you about it until I take a picture of it tomorrow.
I was puttering around prepping for next week with my teaching buddy when my phone rang. It was another courier with my new phone, so once again I found myself sprinting down the hall so that my phone wouldn’t be left outside my door for too long. Of course, I haven’t done anything with the new phone yet.🤣
Exercise:
I was supposed to run today, but didn’t end up getting home quite early enough so I did a MetPro workout instead. I did bicep curls, squats, plié squats, wall sit, tricep kickbacks, crunches, and bird dogs. I then followed this up with fifteen minutes of yoga stretching for the hips and low back.
Knitting:
I have spent way too much time tonight playing scrabble on my phone, but I did finally pick up my knitting and got one row done. This knitting five stitches together definitely makes this my least favourite pattern!
Well, I’m already tired so I’m going off to bed.
Have fun!

Sounds like a pretty good way to assess math for everyone and do it in a group.
Wall sits are intense… I kind of forgot about them until you said you did them during your workout haha.
I would like to forget about them!
sounds like a productive day. I hope your math assessment gives you a good glimpse into what the children know and you don’t have to go back and assess one-on-one too.
I’m afraid I’m going to have to as you really don’t get a lot of the info you get from one on one assessments
