interviewed the twins about their teachers

I do this every year for Teacher Appreciation Week and I thougth I'd share it today, since tomorrow is their final day of pre-school.



2010-2011 school year interviews with Carl & Gretchen May 2011


What is your favorite part of school?

Carl: I like computer time.

Gretchen: My favorite part of school is that I learn a lot. And do you know what I learn? I learned a long time ago that they don’t stick a new season or stick a new month in between.



What are some things you do at school?

Carl: There’s a computer that’s mine. I learn the months. January February March April May. Look whose birthday it is today! Those are the words.

Gretchen: Play. I learned to clean up the garbage. I can play at the playground and I can even listen at school. I can even choose what center I want to play in.



Can you tell me about your friends at school?

Carl: You know who is a boy like me? Keagen is a boy like me. Alexa and Kayleigh and Mackenzie sit at my lunch table.

Gretchen: My friends like to play together and they’re all best friends. My friends like to play with each friend even though they’re with other friends.



What are some things in your classroom?

Carl: Hmmm… Alex and Keagen are boys like me. There are teachers in my classroom. Know what’s their names? Miss Diane and Miss Kelsey. We see a school playground at school.

Gretchen: Lots of centers. There’s even lots of things like crayons and markers and home center things and even there are lots and lots and lots of centers.



What can you tell me about Miss Diane?

Carl: She plays some songs that we like.

Gretchen: Miss Diane has a loud voice. She always teaches us what to do and she even knows the rules. She usually plays and eats with us. That’s all I know about Miss Diane. One more thing I know about Miss Diane is that she loves the whole class.



What can you tell me about Miss Kelsey?

Carl: She zips my coat a lot.

Gretchen: Miss Kelsey usually comes into centers with me and Keagen when we’re having a party. She sometimes takes care of the class. Miss Kelsey even sometimes eats with us. She even loves the whole class.
