Our latest royalty!!!

Happy Halloween!

What a wild and fun day we had. We started the day with a parade around the school where we got to show off our costumes for the parents and other students. We had some amazing costumes! Then we had rotations with the other first grades. After lunch we did Halloween math, journals, and sqeezed in some reading time before our party started! We had so much fun playing games, listening to a scary story, touching weird gooy things in cauldrons, and decorating cookies. Thanks to our great parents, it was a blast! It should be illegal to have that much fun in one day!

Our Author's Celebration

Wednesday we had our first Author's Celebration. Each of the children chose their best (or favorite) story that they wanted to share. Our audience included our first grade friends, parents, and little brothers and sisters. I was so proud of all the children and their wonderful stories. I was also proud of how each of the children were able to read their story into the microphone and show their books on the document camera. It can be a scary ordeal, but they did great!!! Way to go, kids!

My Birthday Video - Way too fun!

My cute first graders, with some help from some incredible moms put this video together and surprised me on my birthday! What a day to remember! Thank-you, thank-you, thank you!

Pocket Day!

What a crazy fun day we had on Pocket Day! Our class had the most pockets in the whole first grade. With outfits like these it was inevitable! We had a day full of fun math and literature activities.

Mathematics in Motion!

Yesterday we moved our desks around, got out drum sticks and got to move and groove to the music while we learned different beats and positions. This was our first lesson in drumming and we had a great time! We can't wait until next time when we'll learn to put our math knowledge to work and really start to move!!!
