Each year Wayne State College instructor Cheryl Suehl arranges with area primary teachers to have her students travel to area schools to present 2 stories and a correlating activity to their elementary classrooms. I love it when these young men and ladies visit our Kindergarten classroom. Their nervousness soon turns to enthusiasm as they begin to interact with the kiddos. In the many years I have welcomed these college students I have never been disappointed with their possibilities as young teachers.
This year we welcomed Miss Makayla and Miss Nicole. Each was very professional as they contacted me and made their arrangements to present in our classroom. Each young lady was prompt and prepared with their lessons. Each was great as they read their stories, gave directions for great activities and was wonderful as they interacted with the boys and girls. Each a great teacher in the making!

Miss Makayla visited first with a wonderful dental health story and an activity in which the boys and girls glued marshmallows (teeth) onto a paper plate to create a healthy smile. She then present each child with a toothbrush and floss so they could practice brushing and flossing their teeth. On her second visit she read a Valentine's Day story and the boys and girls made flowers made from Tootsie Pops to give to their parents. She also gave one to each Kindergartner.
Miss Nicole was the second to delight the class. She also read a dental health story. The boys and girls then painted yucky yellow teeth a healthy white to help make a beautiful smile. For her second visit, Miss Nicole read the story Big Smelly Bear. The boys and girls then painted their own smelly bears with brown paint mixed with coffee. The boys and girls agreed their bears were very smelly but very cute.
