Test Today!

Today the senior infants were doing a test so I didn't do much with them.This morning I had to cover all the classroom walls with black bin bags so they couldn't see any words on the walls.Then I helped the teacher move the tables,then I paired everyones pencil and the extra ones.After that I collected all the crayon bowls and everything on their desks.Then I put dividers in between each girl.When they were doing their test I ruled copies,put art in art folders and changed each girls reader for them.After the test I put the tables back,and collected the dividers.Then I mounted some of their art onto pink and purple paper and stuck them up on the walls after taking down all the bin bags.Then I had to cut out letters that said 'our spring flowers' and stick them onto yellow card and then onto the wall.

bust,busy,busy!

This morning I lined copies,took down some words and stuck up new ones,then I had to swap each girls book for a new one.Then I put up a new alphabet and covered the letters in plastic covers so they wouldn't get wet.After break I helped with art;I gave out paintbrushes and newspaper.There were a few girls form 6th class there so they helped me set up.Then I sat a the red table to help.They were making patterns using the tip of the paintbrush so I had to help them.Then I got to do some;I painted the title with the teacher.Then I had to paint and cut out a table,a ball,a book,a cylinder and kite.After lunch I cleaned up the paints and stuck up the new art.Then before I went home I put homework into folders and I also put art into art folders.

Chinese Dargon and Valentines Day Art!

Today I did my class was learning about the Chinese new year(this year is the year of the snake) so I did lots of art!I got to help make a dragon and do some valentines day art too.Firstly I had to paint some paper plates yellow(for the girls who were absent) and take some girls down to the art table to paint their plates,because they were making a Chinese dragon for the Chinese new year on Friday.Then I stapled everyones 2 plates together and wrote their names on them.After I took down some art at the back of the room.Then I had break.After break I went to the store room to get the step ladder and I took down all the alphabet posters and stuck up a writing wall;so I put up the heading 'our writing wall' and then stuck up 30 plastic polly pockets.Then I had lunch;after lunch I cut yellow,orange.black and red paper into strips and handed them out to each table.They used the strips of paper to decorate their paper plates so I had to help with the glue.Then They did valentines day art;so I had to punch holes in heart shapes and join them all together with ribbon.When the class went home I helped the teacher stick up all the hearts on the  windows.Then I stuck all the paper plates in a row and stapled crepe paper to the edges of them;then I put up the head of the dragon and the tale and when all the plates were in place they made up the body.
