Today I had the chance to sub in a Kindergarten class. I'll be the first to say that I don't have much experience with this age group. I love working with Pre-K since there are only so many things that "have" to get done. It's more like playing with little ones all day. Today I found out that Kindergartners have about the same capacity, only with more rules and expectations. This lent itself to some great entertainment.
My favorite part of the day was when we spent a whole lesson discussing ants and what "hard workers" they are. To tie it in to a creative activity, we discussed how ants are hard workers much like parents are hard workers. The students had to draw either their Mom or Dad doing work. One student approached me saying
"Mrs. M (not expecting kids this age to say my name) here is my Mom working."
Me - "What does your Mom do? What is her job?"
student - "Putting on makeup"
haha
