As I have mentioned before, our school is doing a project where everyone is reading the same book, The Trumpet of the Swan. I was reading aloud our chapter today, and came to the term of field glasses. Pausing, I asked the children if they had a guess of what field glasses were. One of my kiddos raised his hand and said, "They're like binoculars." You could have knocked me over with a feather. I was not expecting those words to come out of his mouth!
During history, we read about Martin Luther King, Jr. I love the book Martin's Big Words.
Not only are the pictures incredible, buy I think that it tells his story well for little ones.
Lastly, I want to take a poll. The linky party of walking a day in each other's shoes has caused me to do some serious thinking: Do you have to eat lunch with your kids, or is it a duty free time? I really want to know! I have this sinking feeling that I am one of the few who have to eat lunch with my kids. Granted, it is at a different table, but still in the loud cafeteria all the same.
Happy Monday!
Our teachers get a duty-free thirty-minute lunch.
ReplyDeleteI used to have to do duty, but this year they gave me two car-rider duty days instead . . . phew!
Yep, that cafeteria is LOUD!! Sorry.

Ugh, I hated bus duty. We used to have it at the charter school and it was terrible :( Hope you have a better rest of your week :)
