Teaching


It was interesting to see that my insecurities were nothing to worry about. I really thought that having a quite atmosphere meant that the kids didn’t talk much and they room was fairly quite, but within a few minutes I realized that this wasn’t true. While the kids were hard at work, there also groups of kids that were conversation together. It was also interesting to see that, like Bunny, there were a few kids that talked while they worked. There were kids that wandered and seemed unsure of what they wanted to do, there were kids that only wanted to do one thing, there were kids that has some disagreements, and I got to see how all of these situations were handled in a kind, respectful, and fair environment!Since I know that we have so many of these kinds of things that happen here, it was wonderful to see that K is normal, and that there are good ways of handling these situations! I really saw how the teachers stop and take time to make sure that they look into the child eye while they talk, and they expect the child to do the same. “Show me your eyes” was something that I heard a few times. I love this since K has a hard time looking at people while they are talking. This seemed like a good way to help the child remember to look at you while you are speaking to them! This is the best way to teach that kind of grace and courtesy. Another grace and courtesy lesson that I liked and wanted to bring home was body control. Bunny does not like to sit nicely in one place. Apparently it seems like something that alot of 4 and 5year olds have some struggles with this as well. :) So the teachers would offer a gentle reminder to “check your body” to any child that was laying on the floor, or spilling alot of their work, or even sitting facing the work the wrong way to their work. So that is something that we will be introducing into our home. I really think that “check your body” is a lot nicer then saying K
Another thing that I really spent quite a bit of time...
