blast from the past

i went to help nt alna today with her class. and it was DEFINITELY a blast from the past... first grade, to be exact. =P (don't laugh...)
today was the first day of school for kekaha, and she needed help getting things done while she worked with the kids. so i provided that help... and she's providing me with extra spending money. =) here are some of the things that I remember from her class when i was in it (that I helped with today):

of course, the teacher! =P

the cubbies on the desk, and the layout of the classroom:

green, yellow, and red cards

reading "big" books (like swimmy):

lunch cards with our pictures

having a class leader be the pointer:

the "magic" carpet/pointers

the writing strategies:

the word wall

morning awakening song of "beautiful day":

HAHA... ahh, the good ol' days... *sigh* too bad no-nell can't read this. i think she would appreciate this better, since she actually had nt alna.

  4. what a great trip down memory lane! :) i think it's neat that you got to help in a classroom that you were a part of. when i went and helped her i didn't know what was going on because i didn't go to first grade there... but that's cool!
