The Best Parts of My Week - 4/12-4/16

Hi again,
What a busy week this was! Still, there were many great parts of the week.....


.....talking with a former student, now a parent of a current student, and realizing what a privilege it is to teach in a school long enough to be able to enjoy that experience!

.....playing Four Square with a group of 4th grade students and enjoying the smiles as we played. I was welcomed into the game by the players enthusiastically! Our focus was on Fair and Honest play. Each player was fair and honest, which made the game much more enjoyable! They commented about how much fun they had had during PE!

.....being in the audience watching a school play performance. I am in awe of the talent of our students and enjoy seeing them shine in different activities!

.....participating in a special Yoga program provided by Miss Kathleen of Wellcome Yoga. Our PTA offers grade level grants to bring programs into our school. I applied for, and was awarded a grant to bring this yoga program to three of our primary classes. The students and teachers loved it! We even met "Mr. Zoobles", Miss Kathleen's Yoga character. We learned many poses as we played yoga. We learned down dog, table, rock or child's pose, sign language for Yoga, that yoga links mind, body, and breath, and more!....thank you to our PTA and Miss Kathleen!
