By the third week of school Kindergartners are just comfortable enough to begin expressing their insecurities. "I can't", "It's too hard", and "Why do I have too" begin to rumble in the background. To address the issue students write the word 'can't' on yellow strips. We talk about this word and why it keeps us from doing the job of learning. Together we realize how much we CAN do and how we can being to try. Once Mrs. K rips the T off her strip everyone follows suit and soon the T is literally under our feet. After a good emotional triumph we set our CAN to work making a class poem of what WE CAN DO! Our work will soon be up in the hall of all to see.
