March 13th: Head like an alien’s
Today, I pulled a first grader (about 7 years old) out of class to do some testing. As I walked with him from his classroom to my office he asked:
Boy: “Ms. Cristina, to do the test do I have to read?”
Me: “Yup. But I know you’ll think its easy. Don’t worry.”
Boy: “Oh, I’m not worried. I like reading because it helps you learn and learning makes your brain grow.”
Me: (chuckling) “Ah! That’s true.”
Boy: “Did you know that I’ve been smart since I was a baby? When I was born I already had a big brain and thats why my head looked like an alien’s.”
Me: (more than chuckling now) “Oh, thats just silly. You’re funny!”
Boy: “Its funny but its true. I did have an alien head.” (All of a sudden, he got really serious.)
Heehee!…. I can’t make this s%$# up. These kids are too funny and they have no idea how cute they are!
Bodacious Bulletin Boards!
This is only my second year working at a school and I must say that there are aspects of it that make it an ideal career move for me. I love the simplicity and affection of the children, I love the schedule, I love to feel that I’m making an impact in people’s lives and I LOVE the creativity it allows.
When the principal put me in charge of the bulletin board by the front office last year, I semi-panicked. I’d never created a bulletin board before and had no idea where to begin. I think the most difficult thing for me to master was proportion. Once I grasped the space I was working with and the size images I needed to create for it, I have gone nuts with all sorts of fun sayings and themes.
Here are some fun ones I made last year for Honor Roll each quarter. I used the seasons for inspiration.
-
- Winter- Dec
-
- Sweet Heart Candy- Feb
-
- Fall- Nov
This year, I’ve decided to change the bulletin more frequently, not just after report cards are issued. Here’s one I made welcoming kids back to school at the beginning of the year:
One for September which is “National Attendance Awareness Month”:
And my latest creation for October which is when we celebrate “Red Ribbon Week”:
Fun, huh? What kinds of fun projects do you do at your work? If you’re a teacher or work at a school in any capacity, please share your bulletin board pictures!! I love ‘em!
