We have been talking about St. Patrick's Day coming up, and I explained to the children that we were going to be making a leprechaun trap so we can get his pot of gold. I told the kids we REALLY needed the pot of gold so we could all go to the beach and get away from the cold and snow. (Winter is taking a toll on my sanity this year). After group time, the children were free to pick activities they wanted to do. Several of the children went to the art center and made me pictures of the beach (in case we don't catch the leprechaun)! Does anyone other than a teacher have a job this great?????
Thank you for sharing your story! I love when children grasp parts of your conversations and run with new ideas! I think that is one of the best part of teaching is watching children use their imaginations. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great having the best and most important job ever!

Love that you have added creativity and imagination to your classroom. No beach here but will gladly send you 115 degrees in July.... Hope you catch your pot of gold!
