Classroom

It is slowly starting to sink in that I will not be teaching next year at Carmen Dragon, or teaching at all for that matter. As the year comes to an end, I am feeling a little sad. I had the BEST class that I have ever had this year! My students, and parents for that matter, were amazing, and I am really going to miss them. For our open house we created a "Living Wax Museum" and it was a blast. The students researched a famous Californian, wrote a report, and then came up with a monologue to present to parents. They had to be "activated" in order to hear their monologue. For example; one of my students chose to be Steve Jobs. He stood quietly and held an apple and wore a sign around his neck that said "To activate and hear monologue pretend to take a bite out of my apple" When people would do this, he would come to life, give his monologue and then go back to his starting position to wait for the next person. Meghan, my good friend, gave me this idea. I was so proud of my students and how well they did.

I am really going to miss the fourth grade, but I am excited to stay with Kara for a year! I am also excited for a change, I suppose. Carmen Dragon has been a great school, and I have the best colleagues, but I suppose everyone makes changes in their teaching career some time or another. I wanted to post some pictures of my classroom and some of my students in their costumes for open house. I really am going to miss teaching!!!
