A typical day for Mrs. Kuhlman starts off with her greeting her kids at the door and getting morning hugs. Calendar time is her favorite. Her kids love sharing about their feelings, which help to set the tone for our busy day. For the remainder of the class day, they work on core subjects and take lots of brain breaks, which includes music she loves. The first grade just ended a unit on owls, leaves,and bats. Now they are on to learning about life on the Mayflower. She loves teaching history. One of Mrs. Kulman’s favorite memories so far this year is listening to her students belt out “Cover Me in Sunshine” by Pink. And they also like singing to “Tooty Ta Song” together. She does it along with them, but always makes sure that the door is locked first. It is so fun and silly. For the rest of the school year, she wishes for time to slow down for a bit. She loves fall activities and learning about leaves, owls, bats, scarecrows, and thankfulness. Mrs. Kulhman has been teaching in Avon since 1992, back when they used chalkboards!
