I feel like they really need time to adjust to their classroom setting first! <br />My school has 18 kindergarten classes now.. but fortunately I only see half of them (the other half go to the other art teacher). I see each class for a week straight.. then don't see them again for another 2 months. The changes you can see over those periods of time are crazy!Mrs. Nguyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235069352368266201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008498758925337366.post-33436421883851980232014-08-25T16:15:22.485-04:002014-08-25T16:15:22.485-04:00Glad to hear that my Squid lesson helped you out:)...Glad to hear that my Squid lesson helped you out:) Beginning of the year kinder classes are insane! I don't have to see them until the 4th week of school, which is such a blessing. It allows them to get just a little accustomed to the routine of school. We usually have 10 kinder classes, so when I do get around to seeing them, it's with a bang;)dmassehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338136749614382952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008498758925337366.post-9640479189305885242014-08-24T22:41:41.939-04:002014-08-24T22:41:41.939-04:00I had to cut them.

He also helps with one 2nd grade class that his grandson attends. I don't know what I would do without him. My mom has offered to help on occasion too. I try to find parent helpers that will come in regularly but it's tough. Just another set of eyes and hands is amazing! I love your train lesson... did you provide them with pre-cut circles for the wheels or did they cut them? I know my kinders have a really hard time cutting circles!Jmatotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466883379712320071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008498758925337366.post-14312851691160817992014-08-24T17:14:37.654-04:002014-08-24T17:14:37.654-04:00Exactly like herding goldfish. hahah :)

Wowza! I ...31 Kinders at one time ?! by yourself?! Wowza! I compare corralling September Kinders to herding cats or goldfish... :) Last year my Kinder classes averaged 17 and I thought I had died and gone to heaven! The year before I had an average of 24 in each class and it was a little nutty at times! I saw a quote once that made me giggle it was something like, " Teaching Kindergarten is like being pecked to death by chickens! " ( ha! ha! ) Have a great school year! :)Mrs. Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750438627381465213noreply@blogger.com
