Farewells are beginning to come thick and fast…

Posted on by

We have so far said goodbye to Isabella and I am sad to say I didn’t get a chance to have a proper goodbye with Lydia today…soon it will be the whole of 5KP.
Thank you to you all for some lovely blog comments lately students, I am very touched with your kindness and enthusiasm. I have really enjoyed being your teacher.
See you tomorrow for our last full classroom day together.
Mrs P

  3. Hi Mrs.Power.
    I am in Australia right this second. we arrived at 11:00 at night last thursday. We are in Toowamba. Grant is in Townsville seeing his friend Tom. Hecomes back this friday. From england to Singapore, we rode singapore airlines, but that’s not the best part. The best part is that we rode on the new double-decker-380 or something like that. It was sooo cool!!! we weren’t on the upper deck. all well.

    I gotta go. cya!

  4. If I were to be the teacher for the first week of school a few things I would of done differently would have been, first of all I would have done a different name game with the class. Maybe to get to personaly know about there present more than there past as smaler kids. Another thing that I would do differentaly than what really happened was that I would have had the class do a writing piece of what they thought the first day of school was going to be like and then another story about what it really was in there mind and to them. A final thing that I would choose do to change the first week of school is that for the first week of school you can eat at the Ice Cream Bar in the cafitiria, then later you can eat at the Ice Cream Bar on friday, instead of only on ( special ocations ). The few things that I have chosen to say that I think I would do if I were to be the teacher for the week are things that I think would give the Kids a better impretion of the first week of school but even with what we did I very much enjoyed the first week of school I beileve that I will have an exelent year in 5KP.

    I definelty would have done alot of things in the same way that Mrs. Power chose to do in the first week of school if I were to be the teacher. For starters a few things that I would do the same are, the poster project. It was an exelent way to learn about someones indepth personality. One reason I really thought that it was a good idea is because the person we got pared up with is someone we didn’t usualy talk to by using the hat and that brings me to the next thing that I would have done the same if I were to be the teacher, I would defenatly used the hat quite often. I belive the hat is an exelent thing for 5th graders. The hat pares you up with a random person, usualy not you first pick but it is a good idea to use it so you can meet someone new, esspecialy during the begining of the year. It is good becuase of ten you don’t get pared up with your best friend but it isn’t the teachers fault so the students don’t get mad at the teacher, instead it just is how it is. I think mrs. Power made some exelent choses for the first week of school.

    If I were to be the teacher early in the year, to make all students feel welcome I would try to make every one comfturble with the fact of being in my class doing variose activities. Such as name games. The thing with name games is that people are less shy to ask people things. Because if they know there name there is no hesitation to asking them so there for people will feel less shy and more welcome. So if I were to be the teacher name games would be a main priority at the begining of the school year.

    For kids to get to know eachother getting to know games are a good idea. I would lead some games for kids to get to know eachother. One of my main ideas for an activity following those topics is a web activity i did last year, it is were we all sat down on the floor and done person had a ball of yarn and they would through it to a random person, but before they through it they would say there name, age, hometown, and 3 interesting things about themselves. The yarn went all around and in the end it created a web. My teacher said that the web had a little bit of everyone in it. I thought it turned out to be quite fun. So I would to that activity if I was the teacher.

    Homework that I would have set truly would haave been exacly what Mrs. Power assighined. It wasn’t overload therefore it also wasn’t a under load. I think it gave kidds an easy way to start of without getting stressed but allo to undersand that through out the year in will be increasing so I would do it exactly like Mrs. Power.

    Being the teacher for the first week of School sounds like a big resposibility, I’m glad it wasn’t my job and I am also glad we got through it.
