welcome to autumn my friends

Our journey begins at the sound of a bizzard buzzer. Three, Two, One and off they go. Down that windy autumn road. As the leafs russels through the trees, the faint smell of color leaves fill your senses. You start to smell the hot apple cider in your hand. Aww..what a refreshing new day it is. The wind blows right through that light jacket you have. Can you feel it? Can you sense it? Welcome to Autumn my friends.

Traffic Lights and me

I thought you ladies will appreciate this. Well, we have a behavior/award traffic light in our classroom with each of the children names on a stick figure. The stick figure goes up and down depending on the child's behavior. Ie) As the children do good they stay on the green light, as their behavior intensify they go in yellow, red etc. At the end of the week, if the children do well, they get a reward. After explain this system to the children, one of my students came up to me and said, "Miss Nina Where is your stick figure for the traffic light"? I respond, "Oh, I don't get one because I help you and our other friend make good choices". Gotta love the kids.
