Being Educated

My lesson today from Rachel included being taught the difference between "to" and "too," question marks, apostrophes, and being told that "ck" is always preceded by a vowel.  (She didn't seem to notice that she misspelled deck by forgetting the "c."  That was the only mistake she made however.  She was so confident in her teaching abilities that I didn't point it out.)


Sheesh...she is really learning a lot this year.  I wish my fourth graders knew all the things she was teaching me too.  Maybe I should send them to Rachel's teacher....

This is what Erin Joy taught me when it was her turn to be the teacher.  Notice the drawing of the person in the middle of the whiteboard.  The big circle on the tummy is a belly button.  She taught me belly buttons are important.  She taught me it's okay to be messy.  She let me have free time, sing cute little songs, and play with Barbie Dolls for center time.  Now that's my kind of teacher!

I think Erin Joy would be my favorite teacher too! You don't need your daughter's teacher to teach your kids, you just need your daughter to visit your class a few time. :)

So cute!!! Your gals sound like they just might follow in their momma's footsteps! We need good teachers.
