This is a photo of one of Jen's classes last year. During unit 10, while talking about belonging to Joy School, they had spirit week where they had a "Wear School Colors Day", "Crazy Hat Day", and "Crazy Hair Day" (pictured). What a fun idea! The girl with the green hair is Jen's little sweetie.According to Jen:
"I find parent communication to be key. I send a daily update telling parents the letter and number of the day, what sight words we are on, and what Joy School CD to listen to. I end my note with the 'Funny of the Day,' since there is always something said or done to make me laugh. Today it was 'my dad is real shiney.' I love working with kids. They make me laugh every day. "
"My favorite thing about running a Joy School is that I can run a business out of my home that my kids can participate in. I like to have "jobs" for my own kids. My 10-year-old helps me with my books. I feel like they are learning about running a business with me. They have pride in it too. They tell their friends about their "job" and about the cute kids that come to our house :)."
