Our new teacher
As we start the process of appointing a teacher to replace Kerry we talked to the children about what their new teacher might be like. What attributes would they like? We asked whether the new teacher should be short or tall. The vote was resoundingly for tall. The vote for hair colour went to teachers with brown hair. We asked whether they would like another young teacher like Bronwyn or Helen or would they like an older teacher? They definitely like a younger teacher. Jessie thoought about it for a while then ventured to add ... "well, perhaps a bit younger than Bronwyn and Helen" Then we asked if they would like a boy teacher or a girl teacher. The girls wanted a girl teacher and the boys wanted a boy teacher. Asked what they would like the teacher to be good at. "Stories" was the most popular reply. Maybe next week we will know what our new teacher looks like.

The new teacher will be very young indeed if she or he is younger than Bronwyn or Helen. :)

What a great way to involve the children in the process! I hope you took their votes into consideration! ;) Well the one thing I would say about the new teacher is that she will definitely be awesome because Helen and Bronwyn get to choose her. :)
ReplyDeleteShe will have a tough act to follow Kerry!

Well, even though we will all miss Kerry so much, Zach is already very impressed with Christy - when we asked him about the new teacher he said she was "beautiful, with long long hair"!
