Hurray for the 100th day of school! It was almost a disappointment. When we counted the 99th day of school, I found that my new package of numbered children had two 99's and no 100. How could we celebrate 100 days of school without the special 100th child? One child came of with a very good answer. She said, "We could pray about it." So she prayed for me, for the class and for our special celebration that we could find the 100th child. After school I called the store where I purchased the package of 200 numbered children and explained the situation to the clerk. The clerk said that there was no need to take down all of the children that I have taped to the wall and exchange the package for a new one. Just bring in the second 99 and we'll give you the 100th child from another package. Thank you child for being an inspiration to turn things over to God in prayer. Thank you God for answering a child's prayer. Thank you Lakeshore Learning for being such a great store to do business .
For our winter sports activity we went ice skating at Sherwood Ice Arena today. We dressed in layers, snapped up our ice skates and had a lesson on how to fall, how to get up and how to skate. All of the children who came had perseverance and learned how to ice skate. Some went fast; others skated slowly. Some skated by the edge and others did turns in the middle. They charmed the retired folks who were shared our rink. We have started a new unit on having a health body. This week we learned about the digestive system, the food pyramid and how to make healthy choices from each food group. Some comments that I heard the children make today at lunch time were "Mrs. Hamstra, I know where the esophagus is." "I know where my food is in my body right now." One girl was looking at lher unch items and was counting up the number of different things from each food group that she had today. These little minds do absorb and learn so much. What an awesome responsibility and delightful reward teachers have!! |
