Day #5
Oh my goodness I almost started crying as I left Mrs. Kuney's class. They are just the sweetest little things they gave us hugs and a little card with adorable pictures! I was so happy to see that we really made an impact with these kids, as they have truly learned how to be kind and are aware of being kind in every way they can! They have really worked hard to do as much as they could on their kindness check sheet and confidently work to do everything they can to make their school and world kind, which helps all of the students, who maybe don't feel as included, feel included! I really enjoyed working with 1st grade, as they still are very young and I feel like I can better connect with them. I would love to transition my observations to kindergarten or 1st grade (I had hoped to observe with Mrs. Kuney, but the students have specials at 10:15). This opportunity challenged me to "observe" outside of the box and see if I could maybe find a very very innovative teacher that I could observe with. I am thinking of possibly going to Norwich because I know they have some great teachers, and I can also gain the multiage perspective. But, back to Avery, I loved today's lesson of being kind to ourselves because that's one of the most important things to do! Kindness should be given to EVERYONE! Even ourselves, which is a lesson that everyone needs to learn, especially adults.
