Mr. and Miss Early College come to visit!

It is always my mission to keep my children exposed to the possibilities their future holds! I am truly growing the future in my classroom. In this effort, I keep bringing in guests who they can hopefully see themselves in. On Thursday, we were honored to have Mr. and Ms. Early College High School of North Carolina Central University visit us.
Christian(Mr. ECHS) and Mia(Ms. ECHS) are some of the most amazing teenagers I have met. They came to speak to my professors about their platform(as King and Queen) for learning buddies, the importance of getting a great education, being kind and respectful. They read this awesomely amazing story about “Edward the Eagle”(the mascot for NCCU subsequently ECHS) and OMG I have to say it was just simply amazing.
Mia and Christian came with one of their teachers, Mr. Smith(a friend of mine). Mr. Smith then explained to my Professors that they would color an eagle and write about what they want to be when they grow up. During that time, I had holiday music on and the Internet fireplace on the promeathean board. Christian and Mia mingled BEAUTIFULLY with my babies while they worked. I mean they were basically naturals with my kids. *Psst Mia and Christian, go be education majors ðŸ˜‰ , just sayin’*
Then my class showed out for them and did our class morning mantra and affirmation perfectly!! We took pictures, they left goodies with us and until next time….

Reading lights, YAY!

My kids and I have been working hard on building our fluency in reading. I really wanted to give them something to spice it up and make it FUN! So I found these cool finger lights at Target. I loved them but my kids loved them more!
