The weather is cooler and the leaves are starting to fall. Well....last weekend it was a bit cooler but with temperatures reaching the high 80's it is still feeling like summer instead of autumn.
Today...the children wrote their September writings for the end of the month. They are really getting into and remembering what they are learning.......like nouns, pronouns, synonyms, compound words! I love it!!!! I know that they are really grasping a concept when they can tell me what they are learning.
I am really trying to talk less and let the kids run the discussions in the classroom. This is a challenge because that means that I have to give up control and let them facilitate where the learning is going!
Wish me luck and I hope that it works!
Oops....gotta run! The kids are coming back from the library!

I love your blog! I may havre to do a classroom one too but my stories are too scary for all audiences.....
Ms. Perkins,
I enjoy your blog and being able to check on the children's activities in class. Thanks so much for the podcasts as well. I email the links to my extended family and they enjoy hearing Brooke as a botonist and a meterologist!! Can you teach us, the parents to podcast and blog??? Sincere Thanks for all you do,
Denise Handley aka Brooke's mom.
