Winter Open House

Today is the culmination of 3 months of practice, tears, yelling, bribes and frustration.  Today my Kindergarten students will perform their Winter Open House.  I'm always amazed when I step back and actually look at what all my students know.  Our Open House consists of minute-long self introductions by my students, example of class time work led by the students, a Phonics section, a Science lesson, a story with comprehension questions, a 10 minute play and 2 songs.  The entire production is about 45 minutes long.  My students are so smart, and I think we're as ready as we'll ever be.  My biggest worry is actually that I'm gonna trip on my heels and fall off the stage on my face (this wasn't a concern to me until I dreamt of such a tragedy last night).  This is my last big thing at work before I leave, which is really strange to think about.  It's hard to believe I'll be home in 3 and a half weeks...wow!!!

I hope you all are enjoying the holiday season.  Don't let the stress mask the reason for this incredible season!

It's ALL About Him,
