A busy week at school

I am very excited because Maggie and I had a very busy week at school this week. We were shown many new roles that teachers play. On Monday our CT asked us to do playground duty. This sounds like common sense however, when you have bunches of children running around and you are responsible for what each of them is doing it becomes very stressful. I had fun though. Today our CT was being observed by the principal so she was really stressed out. I don't know why though because she is an awesome teacher and she has been teaching for 30 plus years. She had us running around like chickens with our heads cut off. We were trying to get the lesson ready and learn what our role in the lesson would be and moving things around in the classroom so that everything would fit neatly. One of the neatest things we learned today was how to prepare report cards for kindergartners. She let us help her prepare the report cards and asked us to proofread them. She included our observations about the children on the report cards. That was really cool. Then we had a fire drill today; that was fun. The fire drill was used to get the school outside for a dedication ceremony for the new pavilion. They invited the landscaper to the ceremony and the entire school gave him a very large thank you card that everyone signed. Then they dedicated the rest of the day to Fred and Wilma the custodians. Each of them was read a poem and received a very large picture frame with a cardinal in the middle and everyone in the school signed around it. We were asked to sign it too. I think it was really special that we were included.
