Come Sea What's Happening in Mrs. Holly's Class
by:

I am having a
wonderful practicum experience at Garrison Pilcher Elementary
School.
Garrison Pilcher is an Elementary School that is made up of children in
Kindergarten through 2nd grade and that is located in Thomasville, Georgia.
I am very lucky to
have a
mentor teacher like Mrs. Holly. Mrs. Holly has a classroom full
of 21 exciting kindergarteners. In her classroom there are 9 boys
and 12 girls. Mrs. Holly is very laid back and mellow with her
children and I like that. Mrs. Holly is assisted by her
wonderful paroprofessional, Ms. Sonja.
Mrs. Holly's
kindergarteners stay very busy throughout the day. They begin
their morning with breakfast. Then the class gets all pumped up
with dancing and singing. They sing the months of the year, the
days of the week, and then a song they talks about how the weather is
going to for the day. Then the students take a quick snack
break and return back to the class for literacy centers. The
literacy centers is where I actually get to help and interact with the
children.
