We're in week three of a new school year and things are finally starting to slow down - well, almost! I've been using some of my usual games (some that I still need to share), and I'm also anxious to try a few ideas that I found on pinterest over the summer. If I find success, I'd love to share it. This week I tried a fishing game with magnetic numbers as a change from "el bolso de misterio." The kids loved it, but it didn't work as well as I wished. Once I work on the kinks, I'll pass it along.

Today, I'd like to share one story from my adventures. We've been practicing "Cómo te llamas?... Me llamo___" in my first grade classes. I told the students that  I would be stopping them outside of class to ask our question and that I hoped they'd be ready to answer. So, there I was greeting students during my morning bus duty. I saw a first grader (Let's call him Ron,) walking down the hall...

Me: "Hola, Ron. Buenos días."
Ron: "ME LLAMO RON!!"

Well, I couldn't help but giggle a little as I directed him to breakfast. He was SO ready with his answer... I just didn't ask the right question! I hope that your litte ones are keeping you on your toes as well!
