First Day in First!!

 So we started the day off with a beautiful double rainbow over the school!!  Nothing gets much better than that:)

 

Next up we took pictures of us holding our 1 for the first day.  These kids don't get much cuter than this!!  I loved how cute they all were!

We read a story today called First Day Jitters!!!  The kids then got to talk about some of their jitters or Jigglers as one called it!  Most of the kids said that they didn't have any jitters and didn't need to worry!! 

 

We then turned our brains from Kinder mode to the 1st grade setting!  They ate this part up:)  We learned so many new rules and procedures today as well!  They loved hearing about earning points with DOJO!! 

 

I am so excited about this school year and can't wait to show you more fun things we are learning:)

Measuring!!!!

 We have been learning all measurement this week in room 116!!!!  Did you know that your foot is as long as your elbow to your wrist?????

 

 We also learned that your arm span also measures the same as your height!!!!  They didn't believe me so we had to prove it!!!



 We used non standard units of measurement to start learning how to measure....we learned that you had to use the same object with you were measuring the object!

 

 We went around the room and measured things!!  We used a cube as our unit of measurement!!

Then, we went into the hallway and measured Ezras:)  This rug was 2 and 1/2 Ezras long !!  Today we are going to do something really fun with our bodies and measuring!!!

 

Stay tuned!!!

TESTING TESTING!!!

Sorry for no pictures, but I wanted to you let you know that we finished our first day of testing!!  We are rocking it of course!!!  I am super impressed with our stamina and pushing through to the end!!

 

Thanks for making sure that we were all here on time this morning and had a good healthy breakfast!!  We had good energy and did awesome!!

 

I hope to have some pictures in my future posts:)

Such a fun week:)



I am sure most of you have heard about the shenanigans that our leprechaun, Lenny pulled yesterday!  Oh my mercy he left a huge mess, but he left some huge smiles on little faces so I am ok with it!!!!!  Poor Jessica wasn't even cranky yesterday and he left her some cranky cream:)  Don't even get me started on the toilet trouble he is clearly having.  

Run to see the WIZARD OF OZ tonight!!!  It is so good!!  I honestly am so impressed that 4th and 5th graders are so talented!!!  My teacher buddy Mrs. Stacker, her daughter is Dorothy and when she started singing I cried:)  I just love Emily!!!  It is so worth the $1 if you want to come see it tonight!!!

We have been doing some test prep and learning about how to make a graph and read a graph was super fun!!  We asked our friends which animal they liked the best!!!

We also worked in groups and turned 4 random words into a story!!!  How creative!!!

 

Only 2 more days till Spring Break....but such a bummer to be in school till June 11th:)

My New Friend!

Yesterday we read a our story for the week called My New Friend.  In the story a little boy was new to town and needed some new friends and one thing that he did was show his new friends around his new house!  So, we role played in partners and one person was new to our class and one person showed them around the room!  We are learning how to describe things this week and this activity was very helpful!

Playing Catch Up!

 We have still been discussing greater than and less than!!  We used true and false statements to check make a graph for our classroom!!

 

 Can we say artists!!  Check out this group project we did this past week!  Each table was a different planet and they wrote and drew about their planet.....each person had a job and I think they did a wonderful job!!  I still miss poor Pluto not being a planet!

 



 Cause and Effect lady bugs!!!  They are helping spring find its way to Arkansas!!

 

 We just finished writing about a narrative about our favorite specialist!!  I was floored by their writing and at how sweet they were!!!  Kaliya wanted a pic with her favorite!!!!

 

Yesterday we heard from a WONDERFUL author!!  Ted Arnold!  He wrote the Fly Guy books!!  It was so neat to hear him talk!!!
