Well we made it through our first full day. I am amazed. At 9am they were wiggling and jiggling while we talked for oh about one minute about our morning. During our first story there was a lot of poking, stroking and some tickles but I'm sure at least a few were listening. By mid day they joined in a read aloud, sang some songs but there was still some poking, stroking and fewer tickles. By end of day they had built trains, participated in peer reading, writing workshop and math stations. During our final few minutes they were sitting in a beautiful circle, singing, chanting and smiling and oh.....no poking, stroking or tickling. It was amazing. I am in love.     ...
