A Day
Through a Teacher's Eyes

Indoor shot existing lighting

I walk to the copy and mail room to get my attendance folder and any other importnant mail.  "Good Morning!," I say.




The children have not arrived yet.  Better get some last minute planning done!





The children come in and put their homework in the "homework" box and unpack.  Many of them have stories to tell me. I encourage them to save their stories for their journals and to begin their morning work.





A child begins his morning work activity.





Time for our poem and song of the week.  "Ready- SING!"
Next we listen to the announcements, say The Pledge of Alliegience, and say our class pledge.




TIME FOR CENTERS



A child works on a halloween candy graph.



These children listen to Arthur's Halloween by Marc Brown on tape.

It has been a long but exciting day.  The teachers get their children on the buses for dismissal and go back in to plan for the next day.
