I am guilty. Guilty of over-planning this week. I was a frazzled, near meltdown mess this morning. I had so many things going on, that I should have been wearing a ringmaster's garb. I forgot that children can't really be rushed. I put my need to cover every wonderful thing on my plans over their need to experience it. Lesson relearned.
The best part of the day was when we revised a classroom preamble that I had from last year.This was after I read We the Kids by Brian Catrow.
It's a lovely book. If you read it, don't skip the forward. He describes his thinking and motivation for creating the book. I was amazed with the thoughtful ideas my kiddos shared! They took the process very seriously, and the finished product is wonderful.
Signing it with a turkey feather quill pen was the highlight!
I hope your day was terrific!
