We’ve begun introducing classroom jobs this week. Each day, we will assign a Line Leader, a Fish Feeder, a Snack Helper, and a Bell Ringer (who rings the “Stop, Look, and Listen Bell.”) At Circle Time, we talked about how each person has a job to do that helps us to follow our 3 classroom rules:
- We take care of ourselves.
- We take care of our friends.
- We take care of our school.
Everyone is very excited to play their part in keeping our classroom community running smoothly!
We also talked about how the grown-ups in our lives have jobs that help our larger community be successful. We finished by telling our friends what we’d each like to be when we grow up. The answers included a ballerina, a princess, an astronaut (Mr. Peter), 2 teachers, a circus performer, a train conductor, a deep sea explorer (Miss Carissa), and one person even answered, “I want to be Carissa!” As flattered as I was, we continued to talk about what made each of us special and unique and that it is far more fun to be ourselves than to be someone else.
The next time you’re at HCS, check out our display based upon the book One, which we’ve been reading almost daily. We’re working on adding each classroom member to the wall and learning about each others’ strengths.
