Re: Far and Away
That's wonderful @Zoe7 - so true that you can still do a lot of art in your role as a 1/2 teacher. What a fulfilling job! I'm sure you love your kids so much.

Re: Far and Away
My kids are amazing @tyme We have a very eclectic bunch but together they work. They help each other, work together really well and often amaze me with their kindness and support of each other. I am very, very lucky.

Re: Far and Away
@Zoe7 - Not many teachers can say what you've said about their class! They must be beautiful indeed! And also, if they weren't 'electric', they probably won't be kids!
I'm sure you have been key to making your class to beautiful. Well done!

Re: Far and Away
They all have an animal that they love and pretend they are @tyme It is soooo cute. Apparently I am the zoo keeper LOL Two of them pretend they are Toby and Clover. The boy who pretends he is Toby even calls himself Toby ...and so do the other kids.

Re: Far and Away
Welll... the kids are right in that sense! Most classrooms are zoos! @Zoe7 .
But I'm sure your animals are tame lol.
Are you allowed, or have you ever taken your pets to school to show the children?

Re: Far and Away
I did take Toby with me on the night of our performance. He stayed in the car until it was over and then he met the kids. He was in his element - so many cuddles and pats. I have the most gorgeous photo of him and my classroom 'Toby' @tyme

Re: Far and Away
Animals have such an amazing affect on children @Zoe7 . I know a school in my area that has a pet dog. The children read to the dog, look after it etc. So good for nervous students.

Re: Far and Away
We had a dog come in at the school I was at before this one once a week. A select group of kids read to him - they were reluctant readers but loved reading to the dog @tyme

Re: Far and Away
Me too @tyme Toby would be no good - he wouldn't sit still long enough without me.
