My experience and Back ground

Ive been educating young children for past 13 years and teaching JK for 5 years.
I completed my Early Childhood Education in Durham Collage.
Classroom Story - There is never a dull moment in Kindergarten class. I have many
mesmerizing stories from my teaching career. Heres a funny classroom story
Language Assessment.
Once I was Assessing children for their Alphabet Printing skills towards the end of the
school year. I asked all the children to print from A to Z in the worksheet provided and also
requested to print their alphabet in the best way they could and reminded them not to look
around when writing their letters.
After few minutes when I was walking around to check their work I noticed one child had
his eyes closed and was writing his alphabets all around the paper and in a mumble jumble
manner. I was surprised and asked him why he had his eyes closed ?
He answered innocently because you told us not to look !!!
