Various Teaching Moments

The students learned about the life cycle of a butterfly firsthand. A caterpillar was in the classroom and we released it into the garden as a class when it became a butterfly.
I am word wall crazy! The students and I did a lot of word wall activities.
I liked to bring the students into the cafeteria in the mornings and give them the freedom to write wherever they wanted in their journals. 
The students and I enjoyed learning all over the place including outside.
One of my students drew a very detailed picture of me.
On my last day the students threw a party for me and some gave me very thoughtful gifts that made me feel very appreciated.
My cooperating teacher and my students created this sign for me that stills brings a smile to my face.
