Perfect. Easy peasy!

Last animals class of the year. Today’s topic was endangered animals, we made drawing based on endangered animals. And at the end we also made “nature protector” badges. Very good way to end the series

Very fun. The last day of class is always nice as the kids it’s ending and it feels a little more special.

Today was our last day of chess class this year. So we done a friendly tournament. Participation was optional, with a chess board as a prize for the winner. We still took a break half way through class. The kids loved the tournament and the winners were very proud. Awesome class

Wonderful. Me and the kids both have a lot of fun during this lesson. It’s awesome to see them wanting to create and draw soo much.

Today’s lesson was on “animals with super powers”. I started the class with a 5 minute silent free draw. Then explained the lesson, aided with some pictures and a video. I introduced them to animals that had abilities that seem supernatural. And we started to draw some of these animals. The second task was to create an imaginary animal super powers. We then made “Pokémon cards” with stats included for our animals. The kids loved this and did not want a movement break. We spent the last 10 minutes of class battling our animals cards against each other.

Perfect, easy peasy :)

I started by refreshing expectations. Then a quick lightning round of questions to test their knowledge and what everybody has learned so far. We played our first game of chess. Half way through class we took a break so I could answer any questions and introduce the lesson of today. We then played our second game, switching partners. At the end of class we had a quick wrap up and clean up, then we said our goodbyes.

Perfect. Easy peasy. It’s great to see the kids enjoying learning, and I like teaching something I know a lot about.

After welcoming the kids and going over expectations, I started class with a 5 minute silent free draw. After that we started the lesson. The topic today was “fossils” following last weeks topic or “extinct animals”. I explained assisted with a video and pictures. I also passed around a real life fossil I had from home. The assignment today was to make your own fossil using craft materials and paper. As a movement break we played a game where we hid our fossils around the room and went on a “fossil hunt” to find them after that it was clean up and goodbyes.

Perfect, easy peasy, no problem.

Today’s lesson was on “decomposers” I started the class with going over expectations, then a quiet 5 minute free draw. I then introduced the lesson of today aided with a short video. We made our first drawings. Movement break. We then made our second drawings. Wrap up, clean up and then goodbyes.

This class has been my most challenging this semester and I’m always unsure how it’s going to go. However today was wonderful. The kids knew it was our last day and some of them showed up with gifts. Kids that I was certain hated the class gave me positive feedback and expressed such disappointment that the series was over. We all enjoyed our last day together.

Today was our last lesson, the topic of today was abstract vs realism. I opened the class by going over expectations. Then a quit 10 minute free paint. After that I explained the topic of today. We made our first painting. Had a movement break and then finished a second painting before wrapping up and cleaning.

Perfect. Straight forward chess class

Wonderful. This class has quickly become my favourite. I really like this school. I have a great relationship with the kids. We always have fun and learn a lot. I feel really accomplished as a teacher when teaching this class.

Class today went much better than normal. Often this class can be challenging for me with some very high energy disruptive students. Today I spent extra time making sure kids knew my rules for the classroom and I held kids accountable who were behaving disruptive. In the end class went much more smoothly.

Before entering the classroom we went over expectations. After coming inside and sitting we went over expectation again. I opening the class with a 10 minute. I then introduced the topic of the day and we made our first paintings. Then a movement break, then second painting and clean up.
