With Back to School on the horizon, this week's topic is a great one.
The start of this year is an extra special one for me. My baby girl is going to Kindergarten. (cue the tears) This girl. She's just the best and I'm so proud to be her mama.
It's going to be so amazing to have both of my girls at school with me this year.
Here is my Goal, my Wish, and my Dream for the school year:
A GOAL: I consider myself a pretty organized person. It drives me bananas when I know I have something and I can't find it. But with our school construction, things have gotten a bit out of whack and I haven't had the time to get it together. I'm hoping that I can get things RE-organized this year and really know what I have and where to find it.
A WISH: As a Kindergarten teacher, there is a lot of pressure on us to start our students off right in elementary school. I have this wish every year for my students. I want them to LOVE school. If we get to the end of the year, and my students love it, then I've done my job.
A DREAM: As teachers, we work hard to differentiate the needs of our students so they all succeed. So why then do we (they) expect our kiddos to take tests that are standardized. This just makes absolutely no sense. I want to see an end to all standardized testing. A girl can dream...

Andrea,
ReplyDeleteYour little girl is SoOoOo cute!! I am excited for you to have both your babies at school with you! I LOVE your wish!! I feel like it is so important for kinder to LOVE school! If they start of loving school it will be easier for their love to continue as they move on to first and second.
Thank you so much for sharing!

Cool pictures!! I pinned a few photographs. I will use these ideas in my Phoenix pre-k class. I always try to use new activities in my class so I keep searching online for the ideas.
