Tuesday Talk

Here is something to talk about at dinner tonight.  Ask you child what we're learning in reading...

Brainstorm some tihngs they can bring for the concept/questions board.

another round of awards

I'm proud of my award winners the past few weeks! 

Happy Thanksgiving

We sure do have a lot to be thankful for... and that's what I tried to teach the students the few days before Thanksgiving.  We did lots of fun Thanksgiving/turkey/fall activities, but I really wanted the students to understand what it meant to be thankful.  My class is very special to me and I am thankful to have the chance to get to know and teach them all! 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Book Fair

A few weeks ago, the book fair came to our school library and the kids were super excited!  One afternoon, we went in and browsed the shelves for our favorite books and made a wish list for our families.  It was a neat experience for them to "shop" for books they wanted.

We're famous!

Our class was on the news tonight at 6:00!  WBTW, Channel 13 news, came to do a piece on yoga in schools. The kids did a fabulous job showing off their yoga skills and I think they're ready to move to Hollywood!

celebrate good times... come on!

I am very proud of my whole class for their hard work this quarter.  As a whole, we have made so much progress already and I'm excited to continue to watch them learn more!  We have a jam-packed 3 quarters coming up... so keep up the hard work boys and girls!

As I told the children before the awards celebration, not everyone earned an award this time. However, we have 3 other times throughout the year to earn one.

Welcome Kayden

We had a new friend, Kayden, join our class last week!  It's been great getting to know her and she's adjusting well and quickly making friends.

Welcome Kayden!

Thank you Veterans

This past week we learned what a veteran is and why we celebrate Veterans' Day.  We hung our stars on the Veterans' wall and were amazed at how many Veterans were being recognized in our first grade families.  Thank you to the men and women who keep us safe and fight for our freedom.
