Watermelon Day!

 There's no better way to celebrate the coming of fall than to have a First Grade Watermelon Day!  We had some great activities all centered around watermelon.  We learned about how they grow, played games, read stories, saw weird watermelon pictures, sang a new watermelon song, and, of course ATE watermelon!! It was juicy and delicious.

First Graders Get More Recess!

 The kids say that more recess was one of the things they

were looking forward to the most when they started first grade! 

Plus, they get to play on the 'big kid' playground!!!

"We Are Busy Bees" Song

We definitely have been busy this first week of school.  We're like busy bees, working hard together to get things done!  This is such a great group of kiddos!  And boy do they love to sing!  What fun we have together!

Back to School!

We're back!  I've put new paper on the walls, filled up the band-aide drawer, gotten extra treats for the treat jar, and labeled everything I could think of.  It's showtime!  What an exciting time of year!  We've had a wonderful first couple days!  The kiddos in my class are amazing this year and so much fun!  I'm sure they've been going home very tired each day because the days are long and HOT!  So if we can keep from melting in the classroom each afternoon we'll be doing great!
