Aldo

on Monday Feb. 15 was my first day at Aldo in the kindergarten class. I didn't really know a lot about the philosophy of the school so I was shocked when the kids referred to the teacher by her first name instead of last. When I was there the kids did journals and than math. I was amazed at how well the kids behaved, and how one boy Pennigton was able to spell Madison and President with no help. I also observed that one boy had his own designated corner to go to in order to do the work assigned. I noticed that when they were in a large group this boy would spin on his knees and act out a little, but when he was in his own corner he was able to perform well with out distraction. Overall it was a great first day, and some of the kids even wrote about me in their journal which was a great feeling!
