Okay so I know I've become a horrible blogger. One of the reasons I was hesitant to start in the first place (see first blog), but I am going to try and be better. For now, I just have to share a little teaching moment I had this morning.
We have been learning subtraction in Kindergarten the last two weeks. If you aren't a teacher let me explain that the end of the year is the time when all teachers feel that their kiddos have gone crazy and question if they are still learning anything. However, not all students have a rock star teacher like me. Ha. I kidd. Anyway, one of my students came up to me this morning and told me "I had math in my real life!". Of course I inquired to see what this meant. Answer: "I was helping my mom go through my clothes and I had five and took away two so there were only three left!". I told her that I was proud of her for using her subtraction at home and she has proceeded to tell me the rest of the morning just how subtraction can be used in real life. Walked into that one I guess. I do love these little momements though where I get to see that I'm actually teaching my kids something. Even when it's almost May!
