I've had made a lot of special memories working at my international school in Tianjin, China. It's been a whirlwind experience but I enjoyed every bit of it! Living on the other side of the world made me appreciate so many cultures and people groups, especially Chinese and Korean. I fell in love with the Chinese Nationals, the orphans, and the expatriate community. But most of all, I fell in love with teaching my diverse kids. Living and working in a new country, led to new adventures. I remember freaking out when I was able to carry a conversation with a taxi driver for the first time! (Basically how to go to fellowship correctly without showing my taxi cards.)
This year, I'm back teaching the same grade (Kindergarten) and I'm happy to work with my TA again. Today was the first official day back to school. I have lots to prepare but I can't wait to show off my classroom with you all! So as you wait....HERE's a freebie for you!
During student teaching, I received a lot of files from my cooperating teacher. One of my favorites was a writing center activity-- practicing word wall words using different writing mediums. It is called Rainbow Word Wall Words and I revamped it to the way I like for my kindergarteners. Students can look at the class's word wall and practice writing them on this activity. First the student needs to write the word in pencil, then crayon, and lastly marker. It's so simple and a fun center!
Click on the picture to grab this freebie on TpT and TN. There are two versions: the BIG version has space for 5 words at a time or a regular version with 10 spaces to write the words.
