Regular Visitors

In the past few weeks, we've started having guests in our classroom who, for the most part, will be with us the rest of the year.
Thursday mornings:
4th grade Reading Buddies - Mrs. Sullivan's class comes to our room to read to us. Kindergarteners are paired up with one or two fourth graders. In the past, this has been such a positive relationship. The older kids love "taking care" of the little ones, and kindergartners love having an older friend to say hello to on the playground.
Ms. Prescott, our social worker or "feelings teacher," is teaching the health curriculum. Students learn how to identify facial expressions and body language to tell what others are feeling. We talk about how to calm down when angry and appropriate ways to make friends. Later we'll talk about safe and unsafe touches. Ms. Prescott will be in our classroom for about two months.
Friday mornings:
Mrs. Scaro comes to co-teach math with me. This is a way to help me differentiate. We divide students into two groups based on the skill we're teaching that day.
