I am behind again… this is getting to be a pattern. I do have an excuse though, I caught a virus over the weekend and was in bed. So, let’s get back to NNS! Last week was all about the alphabet. The children did all sorts of clever activities with letters. I was super excited to sub again on Wednesday. I was asked to come up with a lesson and teach it as well- it was wonderful. I did a lesson on letters in your name. We sang a song called, ‘there was a farmer had a friend’ and we replaced BINGO with the names of the children in the class. I held out papers with each child’s name and we spelled the names- it was a ball. Then the children were each given a cup of alphabet pasta and had to find the letters in their names. The tricky part of this was that the pasta was in all upper case letters so we had to talk about that a bit. The lesson went really well and the teachers complimented me on it- success! The girls came home with potted grass on Thursday and looking carefully, you can see that the grass is growing in the shape of an A and an E- those teachers are ALWAYS thinking.
