Today we started making our own exclusive pots. It was neat to see how all of us are different by the way we created our pots to reflect somewhat of what we like or who we are. I think we all learned from The Pot Nobody Watches that even the way you phrase a question can end up hurting someone's self- esteem. We also learned that as future teachers we have the ability to fill someone's pot to the top with self- esteem, which could possibly be the only pot-filling they get, so it's a great feeling to know we could make such an impact on someone's life.

Today we finished making our pots and they turned out wonderful. Mrs. Turner gave us pot slips with Chrysanthemum on them so we can fill each others pots with with pot and help boost each others self esteem!

Today we read Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon and learned that even if we have a voice that sounds like a bullfrog being squeezed by a boa constrictor, we must still sing out clear and strong and the world will cry tears of joy. As Molly Lou Melon's grandma taught her, we must have confidence! We also learned about how many puppets Mrs. Turner has and that we get to use them to perform a puppet show for our kindergartners on Wednesday! We started preparing 5-10 minute puppet shows, either based on a book, or came up with our own, that have self- esteem boosting ends to them. We will perform them for our class on Tuesday so we can practice. We also needed to read the self-esteem article Mrs. Turner gave us and write a journal entry by Monday.

Today we continued preparing for our puppet shows. As of the end of class on Friday they seemed to be coming along very well! I know the kindergarteners will absolutely LOVE everyone's show!
