So my little munchkins were all engaged happily in free choice centers...it was Fun Friday afterall...and I was sitting doing some planning, taking some observations, and indulging in conversations here and there. One of my little munchkins came over and asked if it was O.K. to use my pointer (which some of my friends use as a weapon, so we now ask). This little one is my lowest and can almost write their name now! I'm thinking...sure anything if you want to go touch letters around the room go for it!
I watch her walk away with much pride that the pointer is in her hand! She walked over to our sight word pocket chart (where our weekly words and sentences are displayed). She preceeds to look around to make sure no one is watching her (but I'm secretly watching). She takes the pointer and points to every word, yes word, and reads them correctly! She then moves onto the sentences..once again she uses that pointer and reads those words. I actually tear up a little knowing how far she has come! This is what it is all about...the pride in her face was priceless! I called her over and told her how proud she just made me and her face glowed!
I love my job....
