9-Partners

We have been working hard on number partners during math class. Today, some of the students made a "9 poster" that shows different ways to make 9.

Some kids even thought of equations like 100 - 91 and 103 - 94....WOW! Take a look!

Class Color Day!

Homework

Hi First Grade Families!
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I added a homework schedule to the side of the home page. Right now, the only homework first graders are responsible for is the math packet each week. We will begin spelling homework in 2 weeks! I will update the homework schedule as we add things.

Thank you for all of your help with the homework!

Caterpillars!

Landon brought in caterpillars to show the class. We have them in a little butterfly house, so that we can watch them go through their life cycle and become butterflies! Take a peek!

1st Week!

Hi First Grade Families!
We had a successful and exciting first week of school! :) We are becoming a team of learners and learning about all of the rules and procedures in our classroom. We have also been practicing our emergency drills and learning about bus safety from the bus drivers.

You should have seen the first Math homework packet in Thursday folders. That is the only homework so far. Spelling homework will start in two weeks.

If you click on the "Look into our Week" tab, you will find our goals for next week and also anything special we are doing for the week.

Please make sure you contact me with any questions, concerns or compliments. I want to work as a team to make your child's 1st grade year a fun and rewarding experience. :)

Welcome to 1st Grade!

This blog will be an additional way to keep our 1st grade families updated on what is going on in our classroom. I hope you enjoy and take advantage of our blog. On this site, you will be able to find upcoming events, spelling/sight words, test dates, birthdays, and much more! Please let me know if you have ideas to make this site more useful.

I hope you are as excited as me for the 2013-2014 school year! I can't wait to meet all of you next week!

 

A Bittersweet Ending!

It is starting to actually feel like summer! I hope everyone is enjoying their first few days of summer break. Last week was full of fun! The misty weather at the zoo didn't stop anyone from enjoying the animals.

On Friday, we had tasty treats at DQ and ended our time together at the park with kickball and other activities.

The last day is always bittersweet. We are all excited for summer, but it is also hard to say goodbye. :( I had an awesome time teaching, learning from, and laughing with all of you. Thank you for all of your hard work this year and good luck in 2nd grade! My classroom will be across from 2nd grade rooms next year, so make sure you stop by and say hi! :)
