"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!

Pancake Day!

We had a blast last Friday on Pancake Day! We learned how to flip them and raced with pancakes in our 'pans'. We heard some great stories about pancakes, made our own pancake man and then ended the day eating delicious pancakes that we got to top the way we wanted to. What a day!

Thanksgiving - Our Most Thankful Thing!

We had an author's celebration just before Thanksgiving where we got to publish our latest book; Our Most Thanksful Thing and share them with our families. This time we published ddigitally and made a little 'movie' of our book. The kids loved recording their voice reading the text, and despite a couple technical difficulties, it was a hit!

We had a great time this month learning about the Native American Indians, doing some sand art, learning to dance and make music, listening to stories and especially enjoying our 'popcorn day!' Even though it was a lot of fun to learn about, we're quite thankful that we live now, and not in the days of the pilgrims and indians!

PE...we can really move!!!

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!
