Good list

Ooooo, naptime! That’s one of MY personal favorites.
Thanks for stopping by, Fun Adult.
Going to the library to pick out books to read aloud.
I just tagged you at my blog.
Puppet show is the best ways to Make School fun for kids. This would be an easy way to make them learn history.
having interaction with other kids and animal always has kids learn more and keeps them busy. the kids get distracted very easily so fun interesting ways to get them concentrated is important for teachers of this age level.
Michelle, sorry I missed the tag! Hope you got lots of books to read.
Garden wall Fountains, OOOh! Great idea! I’ll have to suggest the boys do a historic puppet show.
Franco, I didn’t think about animals. Another great point! We don’t currently have any pets unless you count the bazillion caterpillars in my garage, lol. Great addition to the list.
I totally agree with Franco. I really like the animal idea. Children of this age seem to always do good with animals. Personally the kids my girlfriend babysits really enjoy animals. Thanks for the list..
Peter my boys are just DYING to have a pet. I think it’s really good for kids to have animals; they learn so much about compassion and responsibility from them.
Amy, i think that we are agreeing on many different points, if its safe to say ive made a new blogging friend! being a teacher youre everything my kid would want in a mother, I wish i could meet someone as nice and smart and gorgeous as you are! If youd like to talk more with me about certain subjects let me know!
well it sounds like franco has a little crush! kids these days need activities and fun things to do in school to help them pay attention, field trips can be a great way to get children into learning with out opening a book!
Heather, that’s a great point! I’ve not been brilliant with field trips thus far, but have been doing better this year. We’ve planned one local trip a month for the entire year. So far, both the September and October trips were very successful!
