76/180 DANCING 3-4-5 YEAR OLDS... and Pencil Grips

Woke up with a stuffed nose and body aches.
Winter Program and 4 days left.
You push on.

The kiddos were fabulous!
But then again when you are 3-4-5 years old,
you really pretty much just need to show up,
smile, and they will clap!

Before the program, I had a chance to do some informal observations.
We are working on trees and measurement.
I wanted to make sure students understood the concepts of taller and shorter.
I had them draw a picture of themselves.
Then draw a tree that was taller, or a tree that was shorter compared to them.
Most of them understood the instructions.
Many understood the concept of tall and short.

What I loved was watching how they held their markers.
It's been a while since I really looked closely at how they were handling their writing tools.
So excited that they were able to grip a pencil correctly now!
Just beautiful watching them draw and write... #teachernerd #loveobservations
