Working at my preschool this semester has been an absolute pleasure. The two hours that I am there each week are usually occupied by the morning meeting and stations. The morning meeting is where we say the pledge of allegiance, talk about the day of the week, and learn a new rhyme family. This weeks rhyme family was -ing words, which was particularly exciting because -ing words are a personal favorite of mine.
After we discuss the rhyme family, I lead the class in a riveting game of “Mr. Adam Says.” I like to keep the kids on their toes, so I usually vary my instructions from simple actions like “Mr. Adam says stick out your tongue,” to more complex instructions like “Mr. Adam says show me your favorite dance move.” Occasionally, if I am feeling goofy, I will include a trick instruction, such as “Mr. Adam says make the sound of a tree.”
After this short “brain break,” we move into stations. There are various activities around the classroom that the kids can do, such as phonemic awareness activities on the iPads, and finding rhyme family words around the class. During this time, I usually walk around the classroom monitoring the students and assisting when necessary.
I am very impressed with the school I work at. The school day is so well-organized, and the students are so responsible that I hardly have to go out of my way to help out. I always have a blast spending time with the kids, and I look forward to it each week.
